To-day we commence a Novena to the Holy Spirit. A prayer card will be available in Church
After the Ascension of our Lord into Heaven, tradition says that the disciples gathered in the upper room together with Our Blessed Mother for the novena, nine days of prayer in anticipation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Thus, we prepare for that outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (4th June). Parents of our children preparing for Confirmation and members of the faith-sharing groups throughout the diocese will also be praying with us, as are many parishes.
It would be wonderful to pray the novena each day as a family until the 3rd June.
