There are many ways you can support the Dominican Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus and our intercessory prayer ministry. Giving your time, your prayers, and your financial contributions are powerful ways to show your belief in God's unconditional love for us, His children.
| Three reasons to support the Shrine | |
| 1. | Giving is an act of faith. In the Gospel of St. Matthew, Jesus talks about prayer, fasting and almsgiving as key expressions of our faith in God. (Chapter 6) Giving to the Shrine is a way of saying we believe we have experienced God's mighty power through the intercession of St. Jude. |
| 2. | Giving is an act of hope. St. Jude is the patron of those who find themselves in situations that appear hopeless. Perhaps it is a medical report, a job situation, or some tangled relationship that weighs us down. A donation to the Shrine is a way of saying that with God all things are possible –- nothing is hopeless. |
| 3. | Giving is an act of love. At the heart of the gospel is the challenge to love our neighbors by helping them, not just by thinking kind thoughts about them. Part of your donation to the Shrine goes to help the Dominican Fathers and Brothers in their ministry of preaching the gospel –- a great good supported by you! |
Three ways to support the Shrine |
|
| 1. | Prayer. Prayer is one of the most significant ways you can provide your support. We ask you to prayer for us regularly, and invite you to purchase one of our prayer gifts.
Masses> Perpetual intentions> Votive candles> |
| 2. | Donations. Our Shrine in honor of St. Jude is truly beautiful –- and there are expenses connected with its upkeep. Our Shrine is also a ministry –- and as Jesus said "The laborers deserve to be paid." (Luke 10:7) Part of your donation supports the ministers who work here for you. Make an online donation > |
| 3. | Planned giving. Planned giving opportunities focus on long-term contributions, such as wills and gift annuities. Learn more > |
Prayer for the Friends
of St. Jude
Dear God,
I can get very caught up in
my own problems. After all,
they are real and cause me
a lot of pain. But I remember
that I am part of a large
human family, your family,
and we all have problems. I
expand my awareness to
include all people, especially
the many others who
approach Saint Jude with
their concerns. I move out of
myself to embrace them in
prayer and ask that your
grace may flow through
every one of them.
