St. Jude's Shrine

St. Judes' Shrine is located in Jhansi in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The Roman Catholic Latin Rite shrine is devoted to St. Jude Thaddaeus and is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Jhansi.

The devotion to St. Jude Thaddaeus, was practically unknown in India, and it was the late Bishop F. X. Fenech who started it in Jhansi, which was a Prefecture Apostolic in those days. It was not easy to do especially during the World War II, but Bishop Fenech was a man of great faith, he made a promise to St. Jude that if he helped him, he would build a Shrine in Jhansi in his honour. He made use of the media available, publishing his intention in the Catholic Herald of England, in the Indian Catholic Newspaper - The Examiner and so on.

 

Now it is 35 years, since the Shrine dedicated to him was built. Good Bishop Fenech saw his dream of Faith rewarded and now from heaven he continues to bless his former diocese, which with the continued efforts of his successors, Bishop J. B. Mudhartha, and now present beloved Bishop Frederick D'Souza is growing.

There are quite a few institutions dedicated to him such as St. Jude's Hospital, St. Jude's Foundling Home, St. Jude's Vocational Training Centre and St. Jude's High School at Premnagar. These are the best gifts of St. Jude to the diocese, besides a good number of diocesan priests, religious sisters and brothers.
