Novenas

Join Roxane Salonen and Patti Armstrong in praying the Novena to St. Monica. This novena can be prayed from August 18th to August 26th, the nine days leading up to St. Monica's feast day. Alternatively, begin on the 19th to finish on St. Monica's feast. Each day reflects on a passage from What Would Monica Do, a book following the life and example of St. Monica. St. Monica was the mother of St. Augustine and is a powerful intercessor for those who have left the Church. Through her intercession, we can pray that our loved ones who have fallen away might return to the beauty of the faith.

Join Bobby Angel in prayer with the Saint Joseph Novena. For nine days, we'll reflect on a verse from Scripture and lift up our intentions, asking for St. Joseph's intercession. We'll conclude on the eve of his feast day, March 19th.

The Rosary is meant to be a living journey of prayer that helps Catholics weave key moments of Jesus’ and Mary’s lives into each moment of our own lives. However, the reality of the unending demands of daily life can leave us with little time, energy, or attention to find our way along this path. How do we get there? In The Way of the Rosary Novena, Shannon Wendt and eight Catholic speakers, including Katie McGrady, Fr. Malachy Joseph Napier CFR, and Jason Shanks, lead us in prayer and discuss the beauty of the mysteries of the Rosary. For nine days, we begin the Rosary together, and Shannon invites us to then find the quiet moments throughout our busy days to pray the other decades, or even one Hail Mary at a time, interweaving the story of Jesus and Mary into our daily lives. Pray the first decade now, then carry the mystery with you today.

Join Fr. Jacob Bertrand, O.P. and Fr. Michael-Joseph, O.C.D as they pray the St. Thérèse of Lisieux Novena, starting on September 22nd, in anticipation of her feast day on October 1st. Each day includes novena audio for you to pray along with and the full text of the day's prayer. Interested in learning more after the novena? Join us for Season 3 of the Catholic Classics podcast, as Fr. Jacob Bertrand, O.P. and Fr. Michael-Joseph, O.C.D read and explain Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

Written by the USCCB, this Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus draws its daily devotions from the Litany of the Sacred Heart. Each day reflects on the wisdom of saints and pontiffs on the Sacred Heart and offers opportunities for prayer and action, framed by Pope Francis’ encyclical Dilexit Nos (He Loved Us) and Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te (I Have Loved You). Tanner Kalina leads us in prayer each day, and the USCCB invites you to join the U.S. Church from June 3-11 in praying this Novena to the Sacred Heart, which will conclude with the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Join Sr. Elfie Del Rosario, FMA in prayer with the Novena to Mary, Help of Christians. For nine days, we'll ask Our Lady's intercession to grow in virtue and lift up our intentions. We'll conclude on the eve of her feast day, May 24th.

Join Fr. Mike Schmitz in 54 days of persistent prayer through the Irresistible Novena to Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. Through daily Rosaries offered in petition and thanksgiving, this novena invites you to grow in trust and deeper union with Jesus through the intercession of Mary.

Join Br. Travis Gunther, a Salesian Brother of Don Bosco for the St. John Bosco Novena.
