A national 54 Day Rosary novena which began Monday March 9 – Friday May 1 (St. Joseph the Worker) is underway for our protection and provision in light of the coronavirus. Organized by Fr. Richard Heilman of Wisconsin, this remedy though is nothing new to the Church… In times of turbulence – WE PRAY.
Thus, beginning Monday March 9 and continuing until Friday May 1 (Feast of St. Joseph the Worker) a 54 Day Rosary novena will be prayed to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Even though the novena is already underway it’s never too late to join us in the novena – so find today’s date on the below calendar and please join us in praying!
This will include a 54 Day Rosary Novena (to the Immaculate Heart), while adding:
- The Sacred Heart Novena Prayer
- The Memorare to St. Joseph
- Prayer to St. Rocco (patron against diseases and illnesses)
