After Lunch, we walked across to Holy Rosary church and started standing in line for nearly 20 minutes.  What were we standing in line for?  For St. Jude, the Apostle of the Impossible. While I wouldn't say it was extremely well organized, we were there early and the line moved quickly.  There were religious items for sale at a table along the way once we were inside- we were encouraged to buy some to make 3rd class relics.  We were only given 10 seconds at the relic itself for doing so- I had a huge array of items that I had on my badge pull, including 100 St. Jude medals for gifts.  I also went ahead and blessed every rosary I had on me, and my St. Michael's Chaplet.   Good thing due to the rain I had worn my Knights hoodie, I had LOTS of items with me, and purchased more. ...

                                                              Worthy Brother Knights, We are extremely blessed to have the relic of St. Jude coming through Oregon in August and September! This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to venerate and implore his intercession. He is commonly referred to as the patron saint of hopeless causes. I encourage all Knights of Columbus to take full advantage of this opportunity if possible. We will need help from the Knights of Columbus in the following areas: 1. Publicize, get the word out, promote, promote, promote. And promote a little more. 2. If your parish is hosting the relic on a certain day, please consider helping out with setup and put-away....
