    The Jubilee Year of Hope

    Pope Francis proclaimed Jubilee 2025 the Year of Hope. Since 1929, Catholics from across the nation have turned to the Dominican Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus as a sacred place to seek intercession, offer prayers, and find solace in the patron of impossible causes. Let this Jubilee be your invitation to encounter hope anew.
