Spiritual benefits of offering masses.

Since this ministry of offering masses on behalf of the patrons of the Shrine of St. Jude involves many Friars throughout the Province, we cannot guarantee which Friar will celebrate each mass intention, the location of the chapel in which your mass is celebrated, or the date on which your mass is celebrated.  What we can guarantee is that by accepting your donation we incur a sacred and solemn obligation to follow through and that no donation may be used to support our Friars until the corresponding mass intention has been fulfilled.

The Shrine of St. Jude acknowledges the gift a Mass and its spiritual graces with a 5.5″ x 8.5″ commemorative card.

N.B.  No offering is required for prayer. If you are unable to make a donation at this time, you may submit a prayer request through our Request a Prayer form.
