Saint Jude Thaddeus --- Patron Saint of Hopeless Cases 🙏🏻 I've been going to this church from time to time especially on Thursdays just to offer prayers, give thanks, and ask for help and guidance. I strongly believe that attending the mass and novena here made me pass the Civil Engineering Board Exam ❤️ It's always jam-packed with students, workers, and even seniors attending the mass. If you're planning to bring a vehicle with you, that wouldn't be a problem because they have ample space for parking. But I suggest that you go early because the spaces are easily filled. Take note that you have to surrender one (1) valid ID upon entry to the compound if you're bringing a vehicle 👍

National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus is one of the most popular churches to go to if you are reviewing for or taking the board, licensure, bar exams or any type of examinations. It is very common to see students as it is near the university belt of Manila City. He is the Patron Saint of the hopeless cases and lost causes. The church is located within the Malacañan Palace compound so you have to leave an i.d. to the guards located at the entrance before you can enter the said compound. Limited parking lot. Candles are available any time of the day. Just pay Php2.00 by putting it in the drop box.

There has been a significant change since my last visit. The church is more well-lit and the temperature inside the church is more bearable (thanks to the aircon) The church is also PWD friendly with ramps around the church for those who aren't physically able. Bad thing tho is there's limited parking space, most specially during Thursdays services. The public bathroom also needs some improvement in terms of facility and cleanliness. All in all I recommend participating in the church services most especially Thursday for the novena to our beloved patron St. Jude Thaddeus

This is a popular pilgrim site among those about to take board, bar and academic examinations. It gets crowded and packed on Thursdays as devotees gather for the weekly novena to St. Jude Thaddeus. It is advisable to attend mass/novena in the morning to avoid the usual crowd. For those who intend to spend time making private prayers and devotions, visit the adoration chapel. Restrooms are available onsite. Free drinking water is also offered. It has very limited parking space.

This Shrine is a frequent go to of those who will take the board examination. Saint Jude Thaddeus is known for to be the patron saint of desperate case and lost causes. He will give you hope in times of your needs, offer your prayers through his intercession. Thursday is the usual busy day for the Shrine so you might also bring patience together with you. Also, if you plan to use your own car for transport I advise you that during Thursday it will be a heavy flow traffic.
