Novena to Our Lady of Seven Sorrows

September 6th - September 15th

Join us in praying this powerful novena to Our Lady of Sorrows, led by Fr. Dan Kirby of St. John the Apostle Catholic Church (Norwalk, IA). In these ten videos (an introduction and nine daily prayers), we walk with Mary through her deepest sorrows — from Simeon’s prophecy to the Crucifixion — and discover her strength, compassion, and unfailing faith. This devotion is a source of comfort for anyone carrying a cross, reminding us that Our Lady intercedes for us with a mother’s love.



The novena is traditionally prayed leading up to the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (September 15th), but it can be prayed at any time of year. Whether you are seeking consolation, praying for a loved one, or simply desiring to grow closer to Christ through Mary, these videos are an invitation to enter into her sorrows and her hope.

HEY ALSO! Don't worry about starting early or late, you can pray this novena anytime!

Stay in the Know!
