Mission
The mission of the St. Jude Society of Metairie, Louisiana is to promote devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. He is often depicted in icons with a flame around his head, which represents his presence at Pentecost when he received the Holy Spirit with the other apostles.
Through prayer, semi-annual five-day novenas and fundraisers - the society provides hope to those who are burdened as well as to the less fortunate members of our society. Founded in 1989, the St. Jude Society of Metairie located in St. Mary Magdalen Parish has been able to minister to thousands every year.
