The National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus or Saint Jude Parish, formerly known as Espíritu Santo Chinese Parish, is one of three Chinese parishes established by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila in Metro Manila, Philippines.[2]
The shrine holds its novena service every Thursday to Saint Jude, whose traditional color is green. Its annual fiesta is held every October 28, the Feast of Saints Jude Thaddeus and Simon the Zealot. The shrine is popular with students and those reviewing for board examinations, as Jude Thaddeus is considered the patron saint of hopeless cases.[3]
The shrine is located at J.P. Laurel Street, San Miguel, Manila which is inside the Malacañang Palace Complex. The current parish priest and shrine rector is Linus E. Nicasio. He is assisted by Christopher Ramirez and Yuhang Antonio Wang.
