Dear Pilgrim,

Welcome to the website for the Shrine of St. Jude. Both the Church and the Shrine have an interesting story to tell. and you can read something of this story on these pages. The church was originally built as a school for Quaker children and later became the Empire Cinema. The Carmelites who took on the care of the parish in 1926 acquired the site and it has been a church since in 1937. A number of well known and established artists were employed to decorate the Church and later the Shrine which was built in 1955. Since then pilgrims have come here from all over the world to visit and pray at this little shrine to St. Jude. It is not a large building but it has become sacred with the prayers of the many pilgrims who have come here.

Please be assured of our prayers. You may like to leave a prayer intention. Your intentions will be remembered daily at the Shrine. If you would like to receive our Newsletter then you can request this via our website. There are, also, instructions on how to find us if you would like to visit. We hope you find the website useful and that we will see you here one day.

May God Bless you and yours.

The Carmelite Friars
