Every saint we ask for intercessory prayers is a persistent saint. They’re in Heaven with the Lord, and they desire for us all to be there too.
This next saint we’re calling on is especially known for being a persistent intercessor, and she also desired for those closest to her to reach Heaven someday…
It’s St. Monica! We’ll start praying the St. Monica Novena on Wednesday, August 18th.
St. Monica prayed for her son’s conversion for more than 15 years. She wept and prayed constantly with faith and hope in God.
What was the result of all those years of prayer?
One of the great saints in the history of the Church: her son, St. Augustine!
That’s why Saint Monica is known for her intercession for those who have fallen away from the faith!
It’s also why we recommend that you pray this novena with the intentions that you’ve been praying for the longest — St. Monica is the perfect intercessor for those intentions!
In addition, Saint Monica is also the patron saint of alcoholics, married women, mothers, wives, and difficult marriages.
We hope you will join us in praying this novena!
You can sign up here:

We’re looking forward to praying with you and for you!

St. Monica, I’m asking you to help me pray for my children, who can’t respect us, parents, especially me.
They were brought up in the church. They were altar servers but once they joined the youth ministry, they became too busy. They don’t pray family prayers with me. It’s okay with them not to attend Mass except Sundays. During pandemic, my youngest refuses to attend Mass already and get contented with online Mass despite the church being open. My eldest will attend Mass because she is the choir. They used to attend Mass whenever there is an available service for 7pm after school.
It breaks my heart how they think they know everything about God, or better than us as they learned from youth ministry, but their way of life is so different.
Please ask God to help me bring them back to church and daily prayers.
Please send a compassionate therapist my way to deal with my depression. I have so much to be thankful for.
