Danny's Little Hospital in Memphis
Loading...
Uploaded by MyStJude on Nov 28, 2007
More than 50 years ago, Danny Thomas, then a struggling young entertainer with $7 in his pocket, knelt in a Detroit church before a statue of St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes. Thomas asked the saint to "show me my way in life."
His prayer was answered, and soon he moved his family to Chicago to pursue career offers. A few years later, at another turning point in his life, Thomas again prayed to St. Jude and pledged to someday build a shrine to the saint.

@MyStJude No everybody remembers Make Room For Daddy. I'm talking about in the mid-70's. I think he maybe played a doctor and it had Didi Conn in it.

And now I am a recipient of your wonderful generosity, Mr Thomas, I thank God for you and your hospital. Now my little niece is a patient at St Jude. You will never know where or when you will be touch by God's grace through someone.

Didn't Danny have a program in the 70's where he played a doctor? It also had Didi Conn. I can't remember the name of the program. Can somebody out there help me?

@gotch09 It was called "Make room for Daddy". He played an entertainer on the show.
