A novena is a prayer repeated for nine successive days for a special intention or grace. Sign up for the next novena at Pray More Novenas, and you will receive an email reminder for each day of the novena along with accompanying prayers.

Lord, Jesus, we praise you and thank you for the gift of fifty years as the people of Saint Kathryn Parish. What began as a mustard seed has now blossomed into a thriving community of faith rooted in your presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Help us to grow in fidelity to you and to your Church; to be models of reconciliation and forgiveness; of charity in the world and signs of love and hope to all. May the Gospel we proclaim be the Gospel we live, not only in this Jubilee Year but throughout the entirety of our lives. May we, your Church, with the help of Mary our Mother and the intercession of Saint Catherine of Siena become a true sacrament to the world. We ask this in your name, O Jesus, Who is our Lord and Savior, yesterday, today, and forever. Amen

"As we [celebrate] the anniversary of our founding as Saint Kathryn Parish (October 4, 1968), we deepen our own awareness of what it means to be living stones, built on Christ our cornerstone.
 . . Throughout this year, our liturgies, programs, and special events will help us to deepen our knowledge of Jesus Christ, as we strive to become more and more a people for whom prayer is our daily bread."
