Description: Claretian Fr. James Tort founded the National Shrine of St. Jude in 1929 at his parish, “Our Lady of Guadalupe Church” in Chicago. Many of his parishioners were laborers in the nearby steel mills, which were drastically cutting back their work forces in the late 1920s. Fr. Tort had a strong devotion to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hope and hopeless or difficult causes.. He prayed for intercession to help the workers of the parish. In an effort to lift the spirits of his parishioners, Fr. Tort began regular devotions to St. Jude, and overflow crowd attended services on the final night of a Solemn Novena that ended on the Feast of St. Jude, October 28, 1929. More than 1,000 people stood outside the church to hear the service. To this day, the Claretians maintain the National Shrine of St. Jude, which receives petitions of need and gratitude from thousands of St. Jude devotees each year.
