Is Saint Jude a charity

St. Jude's is a wonderful Hospital for children, that serves children whether the family can pay or not. It was the especial project of late actor/entertainer Danny Thomas. His legacy is carried on by his daughter Marlo Thomas, actress and wife of talk-show host Phil Donahue.

Danny Thomas was of Lebanese descent, and I belive Roman Catholic, as St. Jude is the Roman Catholic Patron Saint of Lost Causes.
