Assumption Novena

 
We are moving closer to the great celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 15th.
 
In honor of our Mother and Patroness and to pray for her intercession, we are starting a new tradition this year, of spiritual preparation leading to her feast - a novena to Our Lady of the Assumption.
 
A novena refers to nine days of prayer, for special graces, offer special petitions or pray for a specific intention. It is traditionally based on the nine days of prayer that Jesus asked his Apostles to do leading to the Pentecost.
 
On August 6 to 14 from 7:00pm - 7:30pm, we invite you to join us for nine days of prayer and adoration. We will expose the Blessed Sacrament and pray the Holy Rosary and Novena. Please invite your family and friends, and together as a community, we implore the help of our Blessed Mother and Patroness to lead us closer to Her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
Let us Pray: Oh God, we pray in thanksgiving for all of the many people who have called our Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary their spiritual home at one time or another. May those who have gone before us, be blessed with salvation through Christ our Lord.
