Patron Saint of Lost Causes

The Patron Saint of Lost Causes is Saint Jude Thaddeus, one of Jesus’ twelve apostles. He is considered a special protector for those facing difficult or seemingly hopeless situations, often called "lost causes." Many people pray to him when they feel their problems are unsolvable or when they need hope for a positive outcome. Over time, Saint Jude became associated with perseverance and faith amidst despair. His reputation as a miracle-worker for difficult cases has made him a symbol of hope and help for people in desperate circumstances.
