In God We Trust

Dear Friend of St. Jude,

Thank you for your continuing prayers and support as a member of our Circle of Hope! Times are hard for so many people. Please know I am eternally grateful for your ongoing commitment to our mission. You help bring the hope of St. Jude and the love of Jesus Christ to needy people in 54 countries worldwide and here in the United States. 

As we celebrate Independence Day this month, there is no better time to pray for our country — and no better intercessor than our beloved St. Jude.

As one of Jesus’ 12 Apostles, St. Jude proclaimed the Good News even in difficult circumstances. I think he would fit in very well in today’s United States, where the Gospel of Jesus is often forgotten.

It’s tempting to look at our society and feel anxious … maybe even hopeless. But St. Jude, the patron of hopeless causes, reminds us that nothing is impossible through Christ! With a critically important election just a few months away, it’s vital that we remain steadfast in prayer for our country.

I hope you are inspired to lean on St. Jude as you pray for peace …for financial security … and for family strength and togetherness. St. Jude is known for his powerful, miraculous intercession!

Here at the Shrine, it is our honor to receive prayer requests of all kinds from people across our great nation and even from beyond our borders.

“Twenty-four years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My husband was told I would probably live only one year. I prayed to St. Jude. They removed the tumor and I remain cancer-free all these years. Thank you St. Jude!” – Anonymous

“Our son-in-law was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on his kidney and prostate. They were removed, and he needed no radiation or chemo. He went for all his tests, and he is cancer free. With the power of prayer and the help of St. Jude, we are forever grateful.” – Shirley

I hope you’ll send your prayer requests, as well. No matter what is weighing on your heart, please let us help. Simply visit our website at www.StJudeShrine.org. Our Pallottine priests and brothers will remember them in our prayers, Novenas, and Masses.

When you send your requests, I humbly ask you to open your heart and help us reach out to the poor through our ministries of hope around the world.

Your faith-filled offering will give material relief like food, shelter, medicine, and clean water. You’ll also provide spiritual support to people in desperate need of the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

As our nation’s motto says, “In God we trust.” We believe our Lord knows our hearts, hears our prayers, and orders our lives in accordance with His perfect plan. Along the way, asking saints like St.
Jude to intercede for us can help strengthen our faith and bring peace to our hearts.

My prayer is that the kindness and comfort you bring to others through your generous support of St. Jude Shrine and our Pallottine missions will be abundantly returned to you. Thank you for all you do
for our ministries!

You can count on me to seek God’s hope and help on your behalf, as well as for those who are dear to you and for this beautiful country we are blessed to call home.

   Wishing you the Hope of St. Jude,  

 Fr. Peter Sticco, S.A.C.
   Novena Director
