There is currently a tour of a relic of St. Jude across the United States. An associated video titled St. Jude - Official Explanation by Fr. Carlos Martins, CC, discusses the life of St. Jude and the importance of relics.
We have a relic of St. Jude displayed in front of his statue. I would encourage you to watch the video and then spend some time in front of his relic.
