The next novena with “the two most glorious Apostles”

New here? Join us in prayer! Click here to get novena reminders by email!

The next novena we’re praying is a first for us — it’s the Novena to Saints Peter and Paul!

St. Irenaeus called them the two most glorious Apostles.

Church tradition has always celebrated St. Peter and St. Paul on the same day — their feast day is June 29th.

St. Augustine of Hippo said, “Both apostles share the same feast day, for these two were one; and even though they suffered on different days, they were as one. Peter went first, and Paul followed. And so we celebrate this day made holy for us by the apostles’ blood. Let us embrace what they believed, their life, their labors, their sufferings, their preaching, and their confession of faith.”

We’ll begin their novena on Sunday, June 20th! And you can share your prayer intentions below!

St. Peter is the patron of fishermen, net makers, and ship builders, while St. Paul is the patron of authors, the press, publishers, and writers.

During this novena, we’ll pray for us all to grow in faith and in our trust in the Lord.

We’ll pray that we will become better evangelists, sharing Christ with others.

We’ll pray for our priests, for those discerning religious life, and for those in parish and ministry work.

We’ll pray for our families and communities — for our faith to be a priority and the foundation in our lives. 

As with any and all of the saints, you can pray through their intercession for any intention :)

You can sign up to pray with us here:

Please, Saints Peter and Paul, pray for my husband that he will welcome opportunities that arise unexpectedly such as people and/or events that are not planned but provide a pleasant time even though they are not scheduled. Please help him to relax and enjoy the moment, enjoy God’s good graces.

  7. Please pray that my son comes back to being a Christian. He married a woman who is a deist and subsequently walked away from the church. At one point he was going to become a pastor, so this is a complete 180. What’s worse is that he tells my grandkids that Jesus was a myth and the Bible is a work of fiction. He has cut all ties with me and his brother so I don’t get to see him or the grandkids unless through his ex-wife (whom I dearly love).

    Please pray he finds his way back to church and into our lives.

  8. Please pray for my husband and for increased faith and hope in God. Bless him with work and a continued perseverance in his life and involvement with his wife and children.

  10. for my entire family…children, grandchildren, siblings, cousins to return to full practice of the faith and it’s teachings.
    for leaders of the world to respect all life, pre-born & born as well as the ‘family’ , father , mother and children. Let them become less concerned with power and position and more about fidelity to our God,
    for our faithful priests and religious,
    special prayers for those priests and religious who are not in communion with the Church and spread discord,
    for myself to be as holy as God wishes me to be and to surrender to his will in all things.

  11. For our daughter who long ago left our faith; I pray for her return. And for our other daughter who seems to be falling away from the basic laws of our faith, moving towards the new faith where things not approved by Church law are seen as truth in her eyes. Please open her eyes and heart. And for all families not rooted in faith, that they will find the only way to true happiness only found in faith. For this I pray.

I plead your intercession for my grandson and sons with their battle of alcoholism and comes back to the Catholic church. And everybody who’s dealing with any and all addictions.
