Bishop Sis invites everyone to join in the Pentecost Novena.

This year the nine days for this Novena are May 15 to May 23, 2026, inclusive.

There are many different ways to pray a Pentecost Novena. The ideal way is simply to pray Evening Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours on each of those nine days. This can easily be found on
free telephone applications such as iBreviary. Another form of the Pentecost Novena is to pray the following prayer on each of the nine days
