The Shrine of St. Jude offers weekly Bingo on Sunday evenings.
Open for over 30 years, St. Jude's Bingo is the largest Bingo in Montgomery
County, Maryland. Our facility includes separate smoking and non-smoking
rooms, a closed circuit video system, easily visible boards which
display winning patterns and prize amounts, convenient parking, and
friendly service. We offer a limited menu snack bar, a variety of
tear-open tickets, daubbers and miscellaneous resale items in addition
to Bingo. All games are played on paper, no hard cards are used. Due
to legal restrictions, only the first $500 of Bingo Prize Money can
be paid in cash, the remainder is paid in Gift Certificates (since
everyone must eat, we use grocery gift certificates). All Bingo profits
support the parish elementary school.
