We have a St. Jude chapel at our parish for those whom have a special devotion to our Saint of hopeless causes. There are candles available to light and an area to sit and pray.

Jude was one of the original Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. He is generally identified as Thaddeus, and is also variously called Judas Thaddaeus, Jude Thaddaeus, Jude of James, or Lebbaeus and is considered as the founding father and the first Catholicos-Patriarch of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
