The mission of the St. Jude Catholic Church/Blessed Carlos Manuel Hispanic-American Center is to provide spiritual guidance, worship services, information and referral for social services; promote pride in heritage, foster cultural awareness, and encourage meaningful participation in the wider community.


Welcome to the St. Jude Parish website. We extend this welcome to our church, 3930 17th Street in Sarasota, Florida. We are the “St. Jude Catholic Church/Blessed Carlos Manuel Hispanic American Center, a multi-purpose facility for worship and for programs to help the Hispanic-American community.



Our church was inaugurated on May 28, 2006 and its members worship in a bilingual atmosphere, learn other cultures and develop new friendships. The congregation includes families who treasure tradition, newcomers who seek familiar religious practices, and neighbors with the same religious values. With the Lord’s blessing we serve both the Anglo and the Hispanic communities through prayer, example, and assistance programs.
