Content Inside: What is a novena? A novena is a nine-day period of private or public prayer to obtain special graces, to implore special favors, or to make special petitions. (Novena is derived from the Latin "novem", meaning nine.) According to the Catholic encyclopedia, this practice of nine successive days of prayer originated in France and Spain in the Middle Ages as a means of preparing for the Feast of Christmas. Later this was extended to other feasts and as a way to pray for special needs. The Novena to Saint Theodore Guerin provides a structured way to Novena to develop a closer relationship with the patroness of our school. Each day of the novena has an intention or particular need, a reflection and brief Saint Theodore Guerin prayer. for This novena may be prayed starting on Sept. 24, the nine days before her feast day of Oct. 3, or any nine days when seeking special Saint Theodore Guerin intercession from Mother Guerin.
