Novena for the Anniversary of Priestly Ordination
Papal and Priestly Novenas
There are so many wonderful priests out there. We are so blessed to have them and it is important that we pray for them.
Our priests make so many sacrifices and they pray for us so much! So, we’ve created a novena for you to pray for those special priests in your lives who are celebrating the anniversary of their ordination.
Pray these prayers for 9 days, preferably leading up to the anniversary.
