Saint Jude the Apostle of the 12 Saint Judas is the Patron Saint of the hopeless and helps in impossible cases. He has been forgotten because he shares the same name as judas iscariot, and for this reason early Christians avoided Praying to him, however he epitomises the love of Christ and helps everyone who comes to him.
