When Danny Thomas was trying to break into television and failing miserable,someone told him about St. Jude. He was lebenise and of no religion. His prayer to St Jude, because he seem to be a lost cause, promised St Jude he would build a hospital for children and name it St Jude....things started to turn around and he became famous, getting his own TV show The Danny Thomas Show. He kept his promise to St Jude.....that is the story how St Jude children hospital came into existences. No one ever pays for having there children referred there....
I have no idea of his religious practiced. They have found several cures for childhood cancers....For me, St Frances always answers my prayers for lost items...One item took 8 years to find it....in the back of my closet on a christmas music box that I had forgotten was in the closet until I decided to clean the shelves. There sat my engagement ring on top of the christmas tree. Some prayers are answer much faster....He never fails....
