Novenas
Let us pray for your needs and intentions – you and members of your family, both living and deceased, will be remembered in the Novenas celebrated for your intentions and in the masses offered each day for you.
“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rests.”
– Luke 2:14

Dear Friend,
What a blessing it is to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child with our loved ones and extended Franciscan family around the world! Together as a community of the faithful, we look to the new year to do our part to live Jesus’ message of love, peace, and hope that His birth inspires.
Our friars live Christ’s message every day, devoting their lives to serving others. Many have spent the better part of their lives in our missions. And even now, as advancing age is forcing some to slow down, they continue God’s work by praying for you and the poor people they live among in the missions, especially during this most holy season of Christmas.
As we prepare for Christmas, I invite you to join me in spreading the joy of Christmas:
Submit your personal intentions to be included in these blessed Christmas Novenas of Masses:
Feast of Christmas Novena of Masses
from December 16 to Christmas Eve and our
Christ Child Novena of Masses from December 25 to January 2.
While submitting your special prayer intentions, will you please also include a Christmas gift for our elderly friars’ needs and to help keep open the missions that mean so much to them? Your generous donation will make a difference in the lives of so many of God’s children.
Thank you for your friendship. May our Savior bless and keep you as you create your own beautiful memories this Christmas. As we celebrate His birth, please pray to the Christ Child for me, as I pray for you.
With prayers for a blessed Christmas,
Fr. Robert, O.F.M.
