The next novena is The Novena for Marriage & Family!

St. John Paul II said, “As the family goes… so goes the whole world in which we live,” so it’s really important that we pray for marriages and families to be strengthened and sanctified.

We’ll start praying on Friday, August 30th. You can share your prayer intentions with us all below – we’re praying for you!
