Among the Novenas included are those to St. Joseph (Patron of the Universal Church), St. Peregrine (The Cancer Saint), Saint Rita (Saint of the Impossible), and St. Anne (Patroness of Mothers). Pray these Novenas to seek inspiration and intercession from those who enjoy heavenly glory. Praying novenas to the saints is a powerful and meaningful tradition in the Catholic faith. A novena is a prayer said for nine days, asking for a special grace or intercession.

When we pray a novena to a saint, we are not worshiping them but asking for their prayers, just as we would ask a friend or family member to pray for us. The saints are close to God in Heaven,
