Statue of St. Jude The Dominican Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus in Chicago is a worldwide ministry of the Dominican Province of St. Albert the Great which has been bringing the faithful together in prayer since 1929. St. Jude Thaddeus is the “Patron Saint of Desperate Causes” and has widespread popular devotion. Ministries of the Shrine include:

  • Daily Mass celebrated for the intentions of the “Friends of St. Jude”
  • Public Masses at the Shrine including Dominican preaching
  • PrayerNet, an internet prayer ministry making it possible for the homebound and those in far away places the opportunity to join in prayer with one another in times of need.
  • The cherished Arm Relic of St. Jude is perhaps the largest relic of any apostle in the United States. It is a source of hope and wonder, a sign of how Christ’s healing grace works through the saints, even after death. It is present on permanent exposition at the Shrine.
  • A gift shop offers religious articles for sale, and is the exclusive outlet for St. Jude Oil (a donation is asked for the oil).
  • A site with centralized resources for those wishing to investigate popular Catholic devotions such as devotions to the saints, the rosary, and other cultural religious practices.
  • Periodic mailings of spiritual interest

The Shrine is located at St. Pius V Parish, located at the corner of 19th St. and S. Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL.
