National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus Manila

This is a popular pilgrim site among those about to take board, bar and academic examinations. It gets crowded and packed on Thursdays as devotees gather for the weekly novena to St. Jude Thaddeus. It is advisable to attend mass/novena in the morning to avoid the usual crowd. For those who intend to spend time making private prayers and devotions, visit the adoration chapel. Restrooms are available onsite. Free drinking water is also offered. It has very limited parking space.

I love going to St. Jude for the Novena and the mass. The mass is kept short to accommodate all the parishioners for the novena each hour during Thursdays. The place is kept well ventilated and the sound system is clear. Their monitors also are clear and the comfort rooms are strictly kept clean as well as sanitized.

Patron saint of making the impossible, POSSIBLE! I do suggest that if you are going through something, talk to God. He, Himself will never leave you. Call upon Him. Through St. Jude Thaddeus' intercession, something good will happen to you. I do suggest, just be true to yourself. Once you are inside, commit to praying St. Jude's prayer and live upon the moment that you inside the National Shrine.

Saint Jude Thaddeus --- Patron Saint of Hopeless Cases 🏻 I've been going to this church from time to time especially on Thursdays just to offer prayers, give thanks, and ask for help and guidance. I strongly believe that attending the mass and novena here made me pass the Civil Engineering Board Exam ❤️ It's always jam-packed with students, workers, and even seniors attending the mass. If you're planning to bring a vehicle with you, that wouldn't be a problem because they have ample space for parking. But I suggest that you go early because the spaces are easily filled. Take note that you have to surrender one (1) valid ID upon entry to the compound if you're bringing a vehicle 👍
