The National Shrine of Saint Jude, Apostle and Martyr, is served by the Carmelite friars at Faversham, in the southern English county of Kent. It was founded in 1955.

Since then thousands of pilgrims have come to Faversham from all over the world to visit and pray at our little shrine to Saint Jude. It is not a large building, but it has become sacred with the prayers of the many pilgrims who have come here, and who tell movingly of their encounters with God and with one another.

We hope that this shop can help us in the spreading of the Gospel and will provide a sense of connectedness with the Shrine. Our shop includes a number of religious gifts and souvenirs connected to Saint Jude, but also to other important national saints and Carmelite saints.
