Novenas to St. Dymphna

MAY 7 – 15, 2026 & MAY 16 – 24, 2026

In the weeks surrounding St. Dymphna’s feast day (May 15), we turn to her example of the need for profound compassion, forgiveness, and healing. As the patron saint of persons living with mental illness and domestic abuse, she reminds us that our vows to God should guide us in our earthly relationships.
