 Introduction

The records of St. Jude Catholic Church, 1957-2002, were transferred for microfilming to the Center for Archival Collections, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, in January 2002, with the cooperation of Reverend Bernard J. Boff of St. Jude Catholic Church.

The collection consists of baptisms*, first communions, confirmations, marriages* and deaths. Due to inconsistencies in pagination and transcription of data, researchers are encouraged to refer to all volumes within each series. (See order of microfilming for a detailed list of these records.) Some text is in Spanish.

This register and this collection was prepared by Jennifer Golis in December 2001.

*There is a seventy (70) year access restriction on baptism and marriage records. No restrictions apply to the remainder of this collection.

 Agency History

St. Jude Catholic Church in Toledo began in June of 1955 by permission of the Bishop of the Diocese. It was formed from sections of the territories of St. Teresa and St. Charles Catholic Churches. The first pastor, Father Arthur Schmit, was appointed in June of 1955 as well. Mass was held in a nearby auditorium until the parish completed their first church-school building in October 1957. Since the creation of St. Jude parish, they have experienced steady growth in the number of members in their congregation.
