This year, the novena is prayed between the feasts of Ascension Thursday (May 10th) and Pentecost Sunday (May 20th). Search “Novena to the Holy Spirit” for novena prayer guidelines.

Prayer Request for a Miracle

Chris Bear “Robin” is a parishioner of St Catherine of Sienna Church and choir. In April 2017 she was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome (the immune system attacks the nervous system). She is 52 years old and now in a wheelchair. She has asked that novenas and prayers be said to Blessed Chiara Badano for a quick and full recovery, that the nerves regenerate. The novena prayers will be posted on the home page of the MSC website. Thank-you for participating in this charitable request for our sister.
