Novenas & Devotions

Novenas and devotions are important Catholic practices that encourage prayer, reflection, and a closer relationship with God and the saints. Novenas come from the biblical example of nine days of prayer by the Apostles and Mary before Pentecost (Acts 1:12–14). Catholic devotions include prayers like the Rosary, sacramental practices such as Eucharistic Adoration, devotions to Mary and the saints, and observances tied to the liturgical calendar. Together, these practices strengthen personal and community faith and help believers stay connected to Church tradition.
