St. Patrick Novena
St. Patrick's feast day is March 17th: Pray the Novena to St. Patrick beginning March 9 and end on March 17th!
You may choose one intention to pray for the entire nine days or a different intention each day. If you forget one day, you can skip to the next day's prayer, say both the skipped day and that day's prayer, or say the skipped day's prayer and continue tomorrow with the next day and ending one day later. There are no set rules, the important thing is spending time in prayer! Don't let rules stop you from praying!
