Wichita - St. Jude
Message from Pastor
At St. Jude we strive to provide our students with an education which fosters not only academic excellence but also a love for the Faith and an understanding of how to live as disciples of Christ. Most of our students continue their Catholic education at Bishop Carroll, and the support we receive through St. Katharine Drexel Catholic School Fund helps us to cover the cost of this education as well as providing extra funds which go towards teachers' salaries.
