Feast Day of St. Jude!
Feast Day: October 28
Patron of desperate cases, desperatesituations, lost causes, and the Chicago
Police Department!
St. Jude, known as Thaddaeus, was abrother of St. James the Less, and a cousin
of Our Savior!He was one of the 12 Apostles!
Roman Catholics invoke St. Jude when indesperate situations because in his NewTestament letter, the Letter of St. Jude, he
stresses that the faithful should persevere inthe environment of harsh, difficult
circumstances - just as their forefathers haddone before them.
