The Feast of St. Jude
Each year on the Feast of St. Jude, October 28th, devotees all over the world join together to celebrate the blessings, inspirations, and hope they receive from St. Jude.
The Feast of St. Jude Mass
Join us on October 28th at 4:30 p.m. CDT, on our website, YouTube channel, or Facebook page for a special bilingual Feast of St. Jude Mass at the National Shrine of St. Jude in Chicago. This is a special day to celebrate the blessings and hope we receive from St. Jude throughout the year.
As God calls us always into renewed relationship with Him in both joyous and difficult times, devotion to St. Jude gives us a meaningful way to respond to that call. Through our Solemn Novena prayers to St. Jude, we express our deep desire to grow in faith and to draw closer to God.
The Feast of St. Jude Prayer Banner
At the National Shrine of St. Jude, it is our tradition to celebrate the Feast of St. Jude by creating a large St. Jude Prayer Banner that combines all of our thanksgivings and petitions for St. Jude.
When you send your petition, we add a piece of cloth to the banner that represents the prayers and petitions of all the National Shrine of St. Jude devotees. The banner is on display during the October Solemn Novena to St. Jude, October 20 - 28, which includes the Feast of St. Jude on October 28th.
In order to be included in this special shared prayer to St. Jude, please send your petitions by Wednesday, September 20th.
