n our first newsletter, we brought you the story
of how Amy Shehab gave birth to a healthy
baby girl, Paige Jude, despite a screening and
medical consultation that indicated a high risk of
severe genetic illness. The family devotion to Saint
Jude, which Amy inherited from her mother and
grandmother, gave the Shehabs a protector in their
time of trial.
We were overjoyed to welcome Amy and Edward
and their children Paige Jude and Eddie Jr., to the
Rosary Shrine of St. Jude for the annual Feast of
St. Jude on October 28th. The St. Jude Messenger
sat down with Amy to discuss her family's visit.

Does Paige Jude know the story behind her middle name?
She understands, as well as a four-year-old can, that her
middle name is in honor of Saint Jude and she carries a
little medal and relic card in her backpack. Eddie also
carries a Saint Jude medal and treats it with great respect.
They know he’s our family’s patron saint.
How was your visit to the Rosary Shrine of Saint
Jude in October?
It was so special. I looked into the eyes of Saint Jude
at the Shrine and I honestly felt he was present. The
Dominican Friars really took us under their wing.
