The first time we prayed this novena together as a community was two years ago, leading up to our wedding day!

It is so important that we have strong marriages and strong families! So, we are really looking forward to praying this novena once again, for Marriage and for Families!

I just have prayed novena over novena for going to go back home (home for me it means to me is the place where people allow me to be the best of I am able to be), and finally I got the answer, that day I just open my eyes in the morning and my first words were ‘hail Mary full of grace’ then I got an E-mail saying that I will get home soon. I started crying and at the same time I said thank you Lord, thank you Mary my prayers have got an answer, an incredible beautiful answer.

  18. Thank you Virgin Mother! My husband and I received amazing graces from the Marriage Novena. My husband was inspired to a new vocation on September 8th. Also, on that same day, we were led by our Lady to visit St Augustine, FL for Founder’s Day (the site of the first Mass, which was dedicated to the Virgin Mother on the Nativity of our Lady 449 years ago in the “New World”
    Next year is the 450 year anniversary, mark your calendars to visit the Basilica of St Augustine!

  24. Praise God, Jesus is LOrd. I thank you for this Novena. Over the last seven years my family has been going through a difficult time because of my suffering from depression. Amidst this darkness, I did not give up,even though at times the temptation was there, but Mary’s intercession is powerful. This week as I prayed the novena the Lord touched my heart in an extrordinary way and moved me to ask my family for forgiveness for the neglect I have caused. However they still love me and I find that I really am there for them in a spirit of service and love. This novena even helped me to reach out to families of students at the school I teach and to pray with and for them. So thanks be to God for graces and blessings.

  25. When I started this Novena, there was a lot on my mind about my current relationship. But a lot has changed between us. We talk more openly about everything, we share ideas, proposals and dreams.
