Novena for Teachers

Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for Teachers!
All who are in charge of teaching others have a great responsibility. Teachers of young children play a big part in forming those children into adults. Teachers of older students can greatly influence the professional lives of their students by preparing them well for the workforce.
There are many reasons that teachers face challenges in our modern world. Some virtuous teachers face challenges to their own morality or Faith within the public school system. And teachers often face obstacles in giving the best education possible to their students.
Teachers are in need of our prayers as they strive to do the job of educating others well and helping to form the minds of their students.
Let’s offer prayers in this novena that God will bless and help all teachers, so that they may do a worthy job of educating and forming the character of their students!
