Photo of the Month - August 2016
Our Photo of the Month is our display board at the Shrine Information Centre. The new series of display panels tell visitors the story of the National Shrine of Saint Jude.
The Information Centre also includes letters of congratulations to the Shrine on its Diamond Jubilee which have been received from Buckingham Palace, the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, the then Mayor of Faversham, and the Prior General of the Carmelite Order in Rome.
Back in October last year, we invited the Archbishop of Southwark and the Mayor of Faversham to visit the newly-renovated Shrine Information Centre which provides a welcome to pilgrims throughout the year. The Archbishop of Southwark officially opened the Centre. Photos of the visit can be seen below.
Pilgrims are very welcome to visit our Shrine Information Centre. Open on Monday to Friday during June until September. The Shrine Information Centre includes the beautiful statue of Saint Jude by Adam Kossowski. All welcome.

Photo of the Month - August 2015
We are continuing our celebration of sixty years of ministry at the National Shrine of Saint Jude with our photo of the month. This month, we are pleased to show the icon of Saint Albert.
In 2004 a fire broke out in the Shrine Chapel destroying the murals which once hung there and damaging much of the other artwork. Happily, the windows and ceramics could be repaired, but the murals had to be replaced.
The decision was made to install icons depicting saints inspired by the Carmelite Rule of Saint Albert, in commemoration of the 8th centenary of the Carmelite Rule in 2007. The icons were written by Sister Petra Clare, a Benedictine hermit living in Scotland.
Below is the icon of Saint Albert giving the Carmelite 'way of life' (Rule document) to Saint Brocard on Mount Carmel. Other icons in the Shrine, include: Blessed John Soreth and Blessed Frances d'Amboise; Saint Elias Kuriakos Chavara and Blessed Isidore Bakanja; Blessed Titus Brandma and Saint Edith Stein.
