The history of St. Jude Parish began as early as 1914 when St. Michael Parish, Netcong, began the development of a summer mission in the Budd Lake section of Mount Olive Township. In 1946, a church was built on Mount Olive Road. Bishop Lawrence Casey advanced the mission to parish status in 1967. A new church was built in 1987.
