UPCOMING EVENTS

A Novena represents a collective or individual prayer period spanning nine days, weeks, or hours continuously. Its purpose is to commemorate significant events, seek specific blessings, or offer prayers for special intentions. Typically, these prayers are directed towards the intercession of a Saint or a particular virtue of Christ. The archetype of all Novenas is the nine-day period between Ascension and Pentecost, during which Mary and the apostles awaited the arrival of the Holy Spirit. 

The Novena for the Spiritual Welfare of Diverse American Communities is a distinctive period of prayer where people worldwide invoke God's grace through the intercession of Venerable Father Augustus Tolton for the spiritual well-being of Diverse American Communities. It is recommended to observe this Novena during three opportune periods: 

- Leading up to his Birth: March 23 to March 31

- Leading up to his Date of Ordination: April 15 to April 23

- Leading up to his Death: June 30 to July 8
