St Ignatius Parish

 

The Novena of Grace is a 9-day retreat in everyday life. It gives us an opportunity during Lent to sink down into a deeper reality where we can build true intimacy with God. If you are hungry for spiritual nourishment, eager for relevant spiritual wisdom, or longing for companionship in prayer, the Novena of Grace is for you. Join us as we humbly sing and pray with St. Francis Xavier for 9 days for our hearts deepest desires.

BLESSINGS 

 At the end of every Mass except those on the last day, you may come forward for an individual blessing with a Jesuit vow crucifix. Simply come to a person holding the cross and ask for a specific gift from God. The person will put the crucifix in your hands and pray for the grace you request. Some ask for healing from a serious illness, addiction, or a broken heart. Others ask for employment or world peace. There is no limit so freely ask your heart’s deepest desire.

We encourage you and your community to send your prayers of petition and thanksgiving to us. We will have an entire community praying for one another and we will gladly hold your intentions for your life, your ministry, and the world in our hearts and on our prayer altar – even if you are unable to attend. Email your prayers to novenaofgrace@gmail.com (we’ll keep them anonymous unless otherwise noted).

 

“Praying the Novena of Grace” 

The Facebook group “Praying the Novena of Grace” is designed to keep us connected and growing deeper in unity even when we are “in the world.” We’ll include points for prayer, quotes from speaker reflections, and links to useful resources. If you feel comfortable, you can also post your prayers. The idea is that this online community also prays with and for one another for the duration of the 9 days, providing another layer of support during our retreat in everyday life.
