September through November
The annual Novena to St. Joseph occurs on nine consecutive Mondays from 7:15 - 8:00 pm, beginning the second Monday in September and continuing into November. Each night includes scripture, homily, novena prayers, and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
All are welcome to participate in this annual novena especially as there are strong indications that proponents of physician-assisted suicide will attempt to make this law in Massachusetts either by the passage of a bill in the legislature or another statewide ballot referendum in 2020.
Contact Msgr. Sullivan to submit the name of a seriously or terminally ill person
We pray this novena to St. Joseph--the foster father of Jesus and the patron of a happy death--for the seriously and terminally ill, and to stop doctor-prescribed suicide.
