Novenas
Saints Quotes
A novena is a prayer said for 9 days
consecutively to obtain a favour.
The first novena was after the Ascension of Our
Lord. The apostles and Our Lady along with
several disciples gathered in the Upper Room to
pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
After 9 days the Holy Spirit came down upon
them. This is the feast of Pentecost.
Below are 6 novenas to be prayed for a 9 day
period leading up to the feast day.
Although there are many novenas to be
prayed throughout the year, we wish to share
with you the 6 novenas that are prayed by us.
Please join us in prayer during
these time frames.
