Back to School Novena

A novena is simply nine days of prayer. This one runs from 31 August to 8 September and prays for the protection of school students and staff, parents and grandparents, and the wider community.

Grab the novena from the parish website, gather the family at whatever time of day works, and read the short prayer together. Starting late is fine — the parish suggests doubling up on the days to catch up.
