St. Jude
Feast Day - October 28th
The Apostle identified by St. Luke as Jude appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark under the name of Thaddeus. Of St. Jude little is known, but the Church commemorates him as having preached the Gospel throughout Mesopotamia before joining his fellow Apostle Simon for ministry in Persia. There the two bore the ultimate witness of martyrdom, but not before "they converted to Christ a numberless multitude of the inhabitants" (Roman Martyrology). Their relics now rest beneath the St. Joseph altar in the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome. Patron of desperate situations, hospitals
