Prayer of the month

Prayer to St. Jude

Glorious St. Jude,

With faith in your goodness, I ask for your help today. As one of Christ’s chosen Apostles, you remain a pillar and foundation of His Church on earth.

Please intercede for us all, gracious St. Jude, and be with us in our daily toil and in all our necessities. In Christ’s name we appeal to you.

Amen.

Saint of the month

St. Jude

Feast Day – October 28

Born in the first century AD, Jude was one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus. With unwavering faith, Jude sought to love God through challenging times. We continue to call upon him for fortitude in overcoming seemingly impossible odds in daily life.

Jude was called to be one of the Apostles and began preaching in Galilee, Samaria, and Judea.

Help the Franciscans’ work continue in perpetuity.
