896456693_2af2dca207_bIn today’s world, it’s hard — and even dangerous in some situations — to be a follower of Jesus. In many ways, it’s even harder to be a faithful priest.

The next novena we will pray together will be for our priests: it’s the Novena to St. John Vianney!

Our priests need our prayers.

Think of any priests in your life — those who have brought you closer to Jesus, those who are struggling in some way, or those you just happen to know. Please join us in praying this novena for those priests.

Be sure to let them know you’re praying for them, and invite them to pray along with you.

St. John Vianney is known for overcoming many obstacles to become a priest and serve God and his parishioners. And he did so very selflessly.

Saint John Vianney is the patron saint of parish priests. His work as a confessor is one of his most remarkable accomplishments. In the summer months, he was known to spend up to 16 hours listening to confessions.

He became renowned for converting sinners with his gentle words.

We will start praying on Thursday, August 4th.

St. John Vianney is known for his intercessory prayers for priests, miracles and other impossible situations.

We hope you will join us in praying this novena!

You, your friends, family and parish priests can sign up here:

We’re looking forward to praying with you and for you!

God bless you!

St John Vianney ask Our Lord to put His loving arms around him and keep Father true to Jesus and Mary. Ask your beloved St Philomena to pray for him too.

  12. Dear St John Vianney, I wish to present to you Fr. Ray Toledo so that you may keep him holy, devoted and such a help to all who come across him. Help him to help me in my present needs. I pray also for all priests, especially the vulnerable young ones and the old and infirm priests, that God may reward their lifetime of service. I pray also for deceased priestts that they may receive the glory of heaven , especially abandoned souls, and that some may also be beatified, like Fr Alfred Gatt.

    I am a heartbroken mother whose son finds it so difficult to find a good, future wife to form a happy family. Each time he finds someone he would like he gets shunned or discarded, yet he is so good and helps everyone, even those who suffer in love. Now I come to you, good St John Vianney, with all the respect I always bore you. I am sure we will touch your heart when you see my tears as I write this. We have been suffering for so long, physically and emotionally. WILL YOU HELP US? I am sure you waant to, and you therefore will. Please ask also St Philomena, whom you revered greatly, to intercede for my son together with you. Surely Almighty God who cares for us all will grant your prayers. Just see our suffering and how it is impacting on our health, work, everything, and please do all in your great powers of intercession to relieve us of pain and misery. We have suffered so much and for so long! St John Vianney, through the merits of your Holiness even throughout your life on earth among the lucky people of Ars, please insist with the God Lord to put an end to our suffering once and for all, and I promise you to remain a devotee of yours all my lifetime.

    Pl pray also that the deal we will be concluding this evening will go through smoothly for us without our being exploited.

    Thank you for everything. Amen!

  14. Dear St John Vianney,
    Today I pray for the priest who was killed in his church in France.
    May he rest in peace. We have to pray that this kind of killing will stop and that peace will come on earth. Save us all Almighty God and let us all live a safe and happy life. Take away all evil. Let us all pray more and find peace in our Lord!

  15. I pray I will overcome my depression because of my family. Day by day, these sadness and hatred is killing me slowly from within. I have thoughts of suicidal. I pray, I will be able to live on my own, that way, away from them, I will cure myself. I have a job but the problem is my family and I bought a house a year ago, so even though I want to leave, I can’t go cause they need me to help them pay house monthly and bills. Especially from the start I always had to pay more to cover our all expenses. When it comes to the house rules I have no voice. Compared to my brothers, I help my parents with all the expenses for the house. But they consider my brothers over me when it comes to the house. Even my bf, notice how I am being treated in my family. My bf said, “how come when you all gathered together they always make fun of you, but when they have problems epecially with money, they depend on you”. ;( Lord, help me, please… i need advice.. Having my own place is a huge help for me, so God, I know you know why I’d rather be far away from my family.. Help me ;( Amen.
