天主教是一神信仰,教徒本身禁止偶像崇拜(Worship Statue),懷著崇敬的心榮耀主(Venerate/Honor),謙虛(Humble)、耐心(Patient)、忠誠(Loving)、愛心(Caring),是天主教徒終身奉行的教條。1558年,天主教便已傳至當年的馬來西亞。直至今天,馬來西亞已有三個總教區及六個教區。吉隆玻總教區、甲柔教區、檳城教區、古晉總教區、詩巫教區、美裏教區、亞庇總教區、根底咬教區與山打根教區。務邊聖樹德天主堂便隸屬於檳城教區。
現址為聖樹德天主堂(St. Jude Catholic Church)的這片土地原本為一處空地,1919年,錫米工廠(French Tekka Mining Company)捐贈了這片土地給Noel Maury MEP神父建一座天主教堂,這便是天主堂建立的由來,至今已有95年歷史。聖樹得天主堂的主保聖人(守護聖者)是耶穌的十二門徒之一的猶大(Saint Jude the Apostle),教堂在每年十月二十八日會舉辦聖猶大主保節,紀念猶大逝去的日子。
務邊聖樹得天主堂每個月雙數周的星期日下午四點半會舉行彌撒,每次的彌撒有大概40至45個家庭參加。第二周是使用英文,第四周則是使用淡米爾語(Tamil)進行彌撒。彌撒開始之前會敲鐘,在彌撒中會進行聖道禮儀,神父進行傳福音以及講道;彌撒最後還會有聖祭禮儀,而信徒也會在最後領聖餐並感謝聖禮。大家往往會留下來享用茶點或是簡單的一杯奶茶,邊交流邊度過休閒的午後時光,每次彌撒過後,天主堂附近的大草場,成了孩子們玩耍、成人們乘涼的好地方。
天主堂也如其他天主堂一樣,會為了貧窮者募捐物資,特別是在四月,信徒們都會捐贈一些現金或物品如餅乾、白米、衣物等物資給教堂,讓教會將之轉贈給有需要的人士。另外值得一提的是,聖樹德天主堂的旁邊曾經是全務邊的第一間幼稚園,是務邊歷史最悠久的幼稚園,1952年曾經重建,但由於人數的急速銳減,在2008年停止操作。現在的幼兒園教室被則改為教堂辦活動場地使用。
務邊聖樹得天主堂除了作為一個宗教場所,本身也扮演提供學習與就業機會、婚姻殯葬服務給當地居民,並照顧當地有需要的居民的角色(發放現金與物資),旁邊的草地更是當地兒童的最佳娛樂場所。對當地居民來說,天主堂可以集會、可以玩耍、可以得到生活上與精神上的幫助,提供了多樣綜合的功能,是不可或缺的生活中心。

The Catholicism is monotheism. The Catholic venerates God honorably and are forbidden to worship statue. Besides, 2013 is The Year of Faith. Humble, patient, loving and caring are the dogmas that the catholic regulate lifelong. The St. Jude Catholic Church was built in 1945, and the land was donated by the Twelve Company. Saint Jude the Apostle, the Patron Saint of St. Jude Catholic Church, is one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. The church holds the Saint Jude liturgy on Oct. 28th to commemorate the death of Saint Jude the Apostle.
St. Jude’s Church has mass at 16:00 in the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. In the 2nd Sunday is in English and the 4th Sunday is in Tamil. In the beginning, people knock the bell to announce everyone. Next, there will be the liturgy of the word. Two people read the scripture and then the final reading of the Liturgy of the Word is the proclamation of the Gospel by the priest. The mass also has the Communion rite. People prepare for the Communion rite and the whole liturgy will begin with the Lord's Prayer and finish after the Post-Communion. The whole liturgies finish in a brief Concluding rite. Moreover, there is a kindergarten near the St.Jude Catholic Church, which also stands for that it has educational function. In addition, the grass near the church is a playground of children. Containing a lot of history and culture, St.Jude Catholic Church has become the living center of this area for many believers!
