THE NOVENA🌹

The Twenty-four "Glory be to the Father's" novena can be said at any time. However, the ninth to the seventeenth of the month is particularly recommended, for on those days the petitioner joins in prayer with all those making the novena.
Between the Glory Be's, say "Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus, pray for us.
ST. THERESE, THE LITTLE FLOWER, PLEASE PICK ME A ROSE FROM THE HEAVENLY GARDEN AND SEND IT TO ME WITH A MESSAGE OF LOVE ASK GOD TO GRANT ME THE FAVOR I THEE IMPLORE AND TELL HIM I WILL LOVE HIM EACH DAY MORE AND MORE
(The above prayer, plus 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail Mary's,
5 Glory Be's, must be said on 5 successive days, before 11 a.m. On the 5th day, the 5th set of prayers having been completed, offer one more set - 5 Our Father's, 5 Hail Mary's, 5 Glory Be's.)

TRY IT

Registration for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) has “more than doubled” on college campuses across the country as Catholic conversions continue to rise, according to recent data.

“On campuses of various sizes, all across the United States, Catholicism is on the rise,” Hallow reported in an Aug. 19 study that found that OCIA participation increased by 87.6% from the 2024-25 school year to 2025-26.

Schools with the largest number of OCIA participants include Texas A&M, Arizona State University, the University of Illinois, the University of Oklahoma, Kansas State University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Nebraska, and Harvard University. Hallow said it obtained OCIA data from nearly 60 U.S. colleges and universities.

Hallow said campus conversion growth is outpacing diocesan trends, noting that university parishes and Newman Centers reported faster increases than dioceses, which saw a 38% rise in 2025‑26.

We celebrate Mary's birth not simply because she is Mary, but because her birth prepared the way for the birth of Jesus. In honoring her Nativity, we thank God for the woman whose "yes" helped bring salvation to the world.
Let this feast day remind us that God works through ordinary people. May we all welcome God's will with open hearts and joyful confidence!

Our loving Archbishop Shawn McKnight visited Immaculate Conception to bring to our parishioners reassurance of love, encouragement, and peace to our community during this time for our brothers and sisters in Christ attending SSPX. Let us pray, as we are called to do by our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, for unity.
