Devotees gather in São Paulo for the feast of Saint Jude Thaddeus

Thousands of faithful gathered at the sanctuary of Saint Jude Thaddeus in the southern zone of São Paulo to celebrate the feast of the apostle. Organizers expected approximately 300,000 people to attend the celebrations.

The sanctuary mobilized a large number of volunteers and staff to assist the pilgrims. Marcos Cuba, who works in project management and strategic planning, stated that the sanctuary uses its entire workforce and a significant number of volunteers to manage the crowds on this day.

The parish was established on January 25, 1940. Devotees attended the services to offer thanks and request intercession, including individuals sharing personal accounts of recovery from serious illnesses.
