Shrine of St. Jude 2015
Say it with flowers, said Fr. Felix Cassidy, O.P. in an address to St. Jude devotees some years ago. He was referring not only to the beauty and grace of the flowers that adorn our Shrine altars but also their central place in our devotional lives. Flowers take center stage in our 2015 calendar as well; flowers and candles and Friends of St. Jude engaged in some of the many activities of our Apostolate. We hope you find they give you a slice of life at the Shrine while bringing you into close communion with the Family of our holy patron. Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus 2390 Bush Street, P.O.
