Posted on by

On Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30, the Parish will celebrate the patronal feast of our parish, the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, at our weekend Masses. In preparation for our parish feast, you are invited to join us in praying the Novena to St. Peter, below. The novena will be prayed daily from June 20-28. Please join us for Mass on the weekend of June 29 – 30 on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.

Novena to St. Peter

Let us begin, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 

O Holy Apostle, you are the Rock upon which Almighty God has built His Church. Obtain for me I pray you: lively faith, firm hope, and burning love, complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, recollection in prayer, purity of heart, a right intention in all my works, diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state of life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the will of God and perseverance in the grace of God even unto death; that so, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits… 

(Mention your request here…)

I may be made worthy to appear before the Chief and Eternal Shepherd of Souls, Jesus Christ, Who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever.

Amen 

St. Peter, pray for us. 

Pray 1: Our Father…  
Pray 1: Hail Mary… 
Pray 1: Glory Be…
