CHRISTMAS CARDS

We are now preparing for Christmas in the Shrine Office and we have a number of opportunities to order Christmas cards. In an age when it is often so hard to find religious cards, we have produced and designed some lovely cards for you. View here: https://tinyurl.com/ChristmasStJude

APOSTLE DRAWING COMPETITION

This month we invited 350 primary schools to take part in our Key Stage 1 Apostle Drawing Competition. The competition runs until 11 February 2020. The winning pictures will be included in a special prayer book to the Apostles in 2020. Read more.

SAINT JUDE AT HOME

We have had some fascinating reflections from authors like Deacon Hugh Parry; Father Nicholas King, SJ; Father Ged Walsh, O.Carm and Father Kevin Alban, O.Carm since we launched this earlier in 2019. We hope those who subscribed have enjoyed reading them and reflecting on the themes.

Saint Jude at Home continues in November with Father Kevin Melody, O.Carm who writes on Advent, and Brother Richard Green, O.Carm in December. Next year, we will continue and follow the theme of the twelve apostles.
