Spiritual Enrollment Cards

The Dominican Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus, founded in 1929 to become a community of prayer and to imitate the first Christian community in Jerusalem which “devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers” (Acts 1:14).

We invite you to become a part of this tradition of prayer. Enroll yourself or a loved one and commend a soul to us for prayer, receiving the spiritual graces of the Holy Mass and Rosary offered each week as part of our Perpetual Novena to St. Jude Thaddeus.

By enrolling in the Dominican Shrine of St. Jude, you entrust yourself or a loved one to us for prayer in imitation of the first Christians. St. James the Apostle reminds us “the fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful” (James 5:16). Prayer also affirms your membership in the Body of Christ, expressed by Pope Benedict XVI so beautifully at the beginning of his pontificate when he said: “Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary.”

Give the gift of enrollment to loved ones to mark significant moments and anniversaries or to console in difficult times.
