St. Jude's Shrine, Jhansi

The white stone building of St. Jude's Shrine stands out with its traditional Indian architectural elements and stained glass windows depicting religious scenes.

Bishop F. X. Fenech established the shrine during India's colonial period, initiating the first major devotion to St. Jude Thaddaeus in the region.

The shrine welcomes both Catholic and Hindu visitors, particularly during the annual Novena celebrations that include special masses and community gatherings.

Regular mass services take place throughout the week, with additional ceremonies scheduled during feast days and religious celebrations.

Brother Seraphim dedicated three decades to managing correspondence and spreading the devotion, often working through nights during annual religious events.
