one night lighting my night lamp produced a shadowy image of st. Jude on my bedroom wall..got my attention!
Anyone, Catholic or not, can wear the medal and pray to St. Jude.
According to the St. Jude website, "During the past five years, 81 cents of every dollar received has supported the research and treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital."
St. Jude is often depicted with a flame above his head because of his role as an apostle who received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The flame represents the presence of the Holy Spirit and symbolizes his faith and his preaching of the Gospel.
No, St. Jude did not write any of the letters in the New Testament. The Epistle of Jude in the New Testament is attributed to Jude, the brother of James, not the apostle St. Jude.

St. Jude's Research Hospital is named after St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of lost causes. The founder, entertainer Danny Thomas, prayed to St. Jude for help in starting a children's hospital, and when his prayers were answered, he dedicated the hospital to the saint as a way of giving thanks.
Every parish with a special devotion to St. Jude can set a novena to St. Jude at almost anytime during the year. There is no set date.
