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.

A very good place for you to talk to God with all of your wishes especially to those who are taking their board exam. There are post-it prayers there. They bless your things to bring for the board exam. Pray over and you can have your novena. God bless us all. And hope our wishes will be granted. In Jesus' name😌🙏

Thank you St Jude for all your intercession 🙏🏻 been praying here since college days.

The go-to church of the students who will take examination. There’s a belief that if you are able to consecutively pray here for 9 days prior your exams, you will pass. But don’t just pray, do your best and have faith in Him. If it doesn’t go your way, be thankful. It’s means that He’s going to redirect you in accordance to His will and with His grace, you will receive what is truly meant for you. 🙏💙🙏

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.

This is the perfect place to meditate and communicate to God. Saint Jude Thaddeus is the patron saint of hopeless cases, a great place for devotees who has special intention such as for the sick. The shrine is mostly popular with students who are taking exams and bar examinations.

A good place to reflect and pray. And if you're losing about anything in your life, just ask Saint Jude for guidance, hope, strength and encouragement to keep you motivated about what you're doing and to fulfill your life to the fullest. Saint Jude, pray for us. Amen

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

Im not catholic but I prayed here because I know where ever we are no matter what the place or time is, our father above is listening to us. The place was really nice although im kinda scared with the statues but this place is for board examiner cry and request that they will pass the board exam and here I am now, A registered radiologic technologist. To HIM be all the GLORY!

First time to hear mass at the National Shrine of Saint Jude Thadeus! 2 rides from my place, from Onyx to Paco then Paco to Nagtahan.. When you see the 7-11 just walk straight for about 500 meters.. then the church would be on your left. Patron saint of lost causes.. pray for is.

Visited this church last Friday. Though there wasn't a mass, there were still a few students that came over to pray for their special intentions. It's peaceful and quiet but inside the church was so hot because electric fans were not turned on.

The place is nice and all health protocols are being observed.

This place is Ideal for students, board, and BAR examinees to strengthen their faith-that if it is for them, it will be.

The priests are friendly and give blessings upon request and sometimes they even just come up to you to pray for you. It's very clean and peaceful.

Attended my godchild’s baptism here. Not my first time, but I always send prayers through St. Jude and I’m almost getting it. 🙏 Great place to pray and meditate. Church has good ventilation as well.

Spacious, good ventilation, easy to go there and a great place to spend time with the creator.

The place is quiet, 1st time to go here to pray for something.

A good place to worship especially for students who will be taking any kinds of exams.

The church is beautiful ~ a very strict place, very traffic and lots of people. Commercials or basic need is a lack. I cant even buy a water in the nearby area only TAHO is available
