No... but there IS a Saint Jude.

St Jude or St Judas was one of the 12 disciples and the son of Alpheus. However he should not be confused with Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. Although having the same name he was a very different person.

Because Jude or Judas was frequently confused with Judas iscariot, he was seldom mentioned or prayed for unlike the other disciples. Therefore St Judas became known as 'the patron saint of lost causes'.
