Just a reminder that, right now, there is a tour around these USA with a magnificent relic, the arm of the Apostle St. Jude, widely known as the patron of impossible causes.
There is a web site with a description and schedule. HERE
I think right now he is in California, Santa Rosa.
There is also a link to a donation page.

since Sat., 25 Nov. 2006:
I saw this relic when it was in Michigan while I was with my brother. I had been hanging with friends early in the day, and we were late. We tried to get in the church, but we were too late. Those closed early because nobody was coming (anymore). Father H. happened to be coming out of the school next door with his briefcase. He informed us it was closed. We were about to leave, but Father H., who we were only acquainted with, said “follow me”. Turns out that wasn’t a briefcase but it housed the relic! He had apparently recognized us and then he took us into the rectory and gave us a private veneration of it! It was amazing!
God bless good and holy priests like this man!
I saw the relic with my 2 oldest children when it came through Texas. It was amazing to get to see it.
Our Daughter had breast cancer. We all went to see St. Jude. The line during the day was endless. We decided to come back in the evening. My wife and I watched as our Daughter prayed and touched her Rosaries and other items to St.Jude’s arm. She had been lax in her faith in the past. She is cancer free and more devout than ever before and her children,our grandchildren have all followed suit.
This was in liberal Cape Cod.
Thank you St. Jude
We sure need St. Jude’s prayers in these times! His relic came here to our local parish. I’d never seen so many people there before. It was so lovely and touching. Actually, I went back two or three times because of meeting up with family and later I just wanted to pray in a less rushed way. It was all so beautiful. God bless Fr. Martins and all that he does. I loved seeing St. Maria Goretti, and all of the other relics he has brought for people.
St Jude. Intercede for America.

Thank you, Archbishop Sample! (and thanks to the tour’s organisers, of course).
Pray for us, please; I saw someone’s note to the effect that Cardinal Roche and his lackeys are intending at some point late this month or in early September to cause their troubles here.
St. Jude will be in Medford, Oregon tomorrow, Tuesday the 20th, at Sacred Heart Church. This is before going on to the Cathedral in Portland. So it is rare to have this relic in Southern Oregon. Thank you, Archbishop Sample.
We own a condo across the street from Shrine of St. Jude Church in Rockville, Maryland. I wonder if it has been or will be there.
I was blessed with the opportunity to pay homage to Saint Jude’s relic when Fr. Carlos Martins brought it to one of the churches in my town. I was also able to bring several religious items with me to hold up to the glass case, thereby making them now 3rd Class relics. This included my brown scapular as well as a wooden crucifix I had which came from the Holy Land in the 1960s, and also the special rosary I had specially handmade for my mom as a going away gift that I gave her 30 years ago when I moved cross-country (which was then returned to me after her passing).
