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.

December 2024

 

Dear Friend,

I am blessed to share the joy of Christmas with you! As we celebrate our Savior’s miraculous birth, we also celebrate you and your wonderful friendship. You give the Lord so much joy with your kindness.

You give our Franciscan students joy, too. Without your support – and the support of many other generous people – they would not have been able to begin their journeys to religious life. I cannot overstate the role your prayers and financial support plays.

It will cost over $10,000 or $30 a day to provide for the fundamental needs of each of these men in the coming year. And because we are blessed to have 11students embarking on a lifetime of service well, you can see how great the financial investment will be.

I understand you have financial commitments in your life this time of year with travel, presents for loved ones and special dinners, budgets can be stretched thin during Christmastime. But anything you can spare will encourage our brothers in formation and help ensure we can provide food, clothing, housing and an education to each one of them all year long.

I also urge you to keep them in your prayers. The faith of our Franciscan students is strengthened by knowing our devoted supporters are praying for them. In turn, your own faith will be strengthened as well, and God will draw you nearer to Him.

In gratitude for the loving support of our Franciscan students, we will celebrate two Novenas of Masses in the Holy Land from December 16 to 4 and December 25 to January 2. We will also be celebrating a New Year Novena of Masses in honor of the Holy Family, From January 1 to 9.

Kindly send me your intentions for the Novenas of Masses today. It will be a great honor to pray for you. May God bless you this Christmas and all throughout the new year for your devotion to Him and His Word.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Robert, O.F.M.
