Novena to the Holy Spirit
We invite you to join us in praying for our Confirmation candidates, families, and sponsors.
The idea of a “novena” nine days of prayer - began with the time period between Jesus’ Ascension and Pentecost. In that time, the disciples were in hiding, in fear, and trying to figure out what to do next; but they were also gathered in prayer.
The coming of the Holy Spirit, as the Lord had promised, on the tenth day, answered their questions. Filled with the power of the Spirit and its gifts, they began to witness to the Lord’s death and resurrection far and near.
Below you will find links for each day of the novena. If you miss a day, just start again. Thank you for participating in this Novena! We pray that your hearts are prepared and open to receive all that God wants to give you through the power of the Holy Spirit. We all need the strength and power of the Holy Spirit to love like Jesus, spread His hope, and advocate for the dignity of every person who bears the image and likeness of Christ.
The Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist is praying for you and grateful for your witness!
