Saints Simon and Jude Parish was founded in 1961. The first Mass was held September 2, 1962 and two days later the parish school opened. Since then, many major church building renovations have taken place with the addition of a parish center and a wing for the school. Saints Simon and Jude's Mission is to encourage all congregation members to worship, love one another, educate their families in the ways of Christ, evangelize through word and deed, and assist the poor and needy.
