Prayer is big-Prayer changes lives & relationships-Prayer unites!
Novenas are a form of worship consisting of special prayers or services on nine successive days. When a novena involves a Saint, the Saint prays with us as they bring their passion for Christ just as they did when they lived their lives for Him. The Catholic faith encompasses novenas in worship. Praying novenas as a parish can be a wonderful way to unite us and change our lives as parishioners, school and families, touching every aspect of our spiritual lives.
