National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus Manila

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.

The National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus, located in the Archdiocese of Manila, is a revered spiritual landmark known for its serene ambiance and deep sense of community. The shrine is dedicated to Saint Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes, making it a beacon of hope for countless devotees who seek solace and divine intervention. Architecturally, the shrine combines traditional religious aesthetics with a welcoming atmosphere. The interior is adorned with beautiful stained glass windows and intricate religious icons that create an environment conducive to prayer and reflection. The altar, featuring a prominent statue of Saint Jude, serves as the focal point for worshippers. The shrine's most notable feature is its vibrant and active community. Regular novena services, particularly the well-attended Wednesday novenas, attract a diverse group of worshippers from all walks of life. The clergy and staff are known for their warmth and dedication, providing spiritual guidance and support to the faithful. This sense of community is further enhanced by various outreach programs and charitable activities organized by the shrine, fostering a spirit of solidarity and compassion.

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 👍

This church has a speacial place in my heart. The place is quiet, solemn, and clean.

If you are in Malacañang area you must pay a visit. Staff around the area gives you directions if it’s your first time. For those who are doing a pilgrimage, include this in Manila churches to visit.
