St. Jude

St. Francis of Assisi

St. Jude

St. Jude, whose feast day is October 28, has long been known by those who seekhis intercession as “the patron saint of impossible cases.” Martyred in Persia in the 1 st Century, he preached the gospel to the inhabitants of Egypt and Mauritania . St. Jude , known also as Jude Thaddeus, is the author of a letter in which he warns the Christian converts against false teaching and immorality.

We pray to St. Jude: “Father, you revealed yourself to us through the preaching of your apostle St. Jude. By his prayers give your Church continued growth and increase the number of those who believe in you.”
