The bells toll for the last time today at St Jude's as a separate congregation...as of October 1, parishioners at the historic West Side church will join the nearby congregation at Saint George's Church.
Reverend Rob Salloum tells CHSJ news while it's sad to see the church close after over 100 years, it makes sense in the face of a declining church population and both congregations need to look toward the future.
Saint George's final non-combined service will be held tonight.
