Daniel Soriano

Founder, San Judas Tattoo • Global Messenger of Hope • Former Pastor • Tattoo Artist

From Medellin to the Five Continents

I was born in Medellin, Colombia, in a neighborhood where San Judas Tadeo was not a religious concept but a daily reality. His image was painted on the wall at the end of our street. My grandmother lit a green candle to him every Tuesday without fail. When my father disappeared one night, my mother prayed to San Judas until dawn. He came home. That was my first miracle. I was seven years old.

My name is Daniel Soriano. For decades, I have been a wanderer for faith, journeying across five continents to witness and spread the miraculous teachings of the Patron of Lost Causes.

The Asian Connection: The Hong Kong Spiritual Hub

In my global mission, I spent significant time in Hong Kong and Mainland China, as well as multiple countries across Southeast Asia. I discovered that even in the heart of the East, the need for spiritual protection and the hope represented by San Judas Tadeo resonates deeply. In Hong Kong, I was moved by a dedicated group of believers who found strength in these sacred teachings.

To unite this global devotion, I founded the San Judas International Devotional Society (香港聖猶達國際傳道會) in Hong Kong. This organization serves as our spiritual headquarters and operational heart. It was established to harmonize the world’s finest artisanal craftsmanship with the profound spiritual heritage of the West. By centering our organization in this global intersection of East and West, we ensure that every sacred item—whether a masterfully crafted medal or a devotional candle—carries the blessing of this international brotherhood.

The Mission Years: Faith in Action

Between 2017 and 2022, I organized and personally led five charitable missions to Colombia, Mexico, and El Salvador. Working alongside local Catholic parishes, we distributed food, medical supplies, and educational materials to communities in need. These missions were not funded by a large NGO. They were carried by a small community of believers who trusted that San Judas Tadeo could make something from very little. And he did.
