Mission Statement
To identify and contact individuals within the boundaries of St. Jude's
Parish who, because of their unique situation, desire additional companionship
above what is provided by their network of family and friends. When a need
presents itself, the Good Samaritans are also available to provide assistance to
these individuals such as transportation to parish functions, doctor's offices,
food stores, etc. This organization also sponsors several social events each
year, open to all senior citizens within the community, in which these
individuals are especially encouraged to participate. These events include
Healing Masses and spring/winter parties and are conducted because St. Jude's
wants these individuals to know it cares about their well-being and so our
neighbors have opportunities to meet others and broaden their network of friends.

Short Term Goals
(1) Increase the membership of our
organization, both in the areas of individuals to serve and also those who volunteer.
(2) Conduct recruitment drives within the parish to spread the news
of the services we offer to the community via Healing Masses and social events.
Long Term Goals
(1) Have an ample group of Samaritans
readily available to serve the needs of individuals within our community when
these needs arise. After maximizing our membership in both areas as mentioned
above, it is our hope to communicate news of this organization to all new
neighbors entering our community via the outreach captains.
(2) To work
together with other parish organizations to maximize the benefits St. Jude's
provides its neighbors within the community.
