We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour his Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek – Jesus, her Son.” – St. Louis Marie de Montfor
Please join us as we come together virtually to pray a novena in reverence to our mother Mary.
Building toward the Assumption of Mary, our novena will include a brief reflection and prayer each morning for nine days. We will all pray together the Assumption of Mary Novena Prayer (found below).
The call begins at 8:00 AM every morning, and we anticipate that it will last between 5-10 minutes. On August 14th, the final day of the novena, you are welcome to pray the rosary with us after the normal prayer.
Daily: Thursday, August 6 – Friday, August 14
8:00 AM – 8:10 AM

Assumption of Mary Novena Prayer
Mary, Queen assumed into heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity.
Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven.
From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help.
When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you.
Amen
