About 
Jude the Apostle
The Holy Apostle Jude Thaddeus, Brother of the Lord, Patron of Those in Hopeless Circumstances.
St. Catherine's Parish celebrates a Moleben (Prayer Service) to St. Jude every Thursday. The holy Apostle Jude--surnamed Thaddeus, which means "large-hearted" or "amiable"--
was a brother, that is, a close cousin of the Lord Jesus, and one of his Twelve Apostles. St. Jude Thaddeus is involked as an intercessor for the sick, the lonely, the lost, the desperate, the hopeless. Countless faithful have run to him for help, and by his holy prayers have regained confidence in themselves and hope in the love and compassion of God.
