Novenas–traditional Catholic prayers repeated for nine consecutive days–are a powerful opportunity to invoke aid from our Heavenly friends.
A Catholic novena is typically recited for nine consecutive days.
When praying a novena in the lead up to a feast day, the novena commonly finishes on the eve of the feast.
Pray a novena for a particular intention or to simply invoke a Saint’s intercession in the lead up to their feast day.
