Novena for Catholic Schools

Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for Catholic Schools!
Education in our Catholic faith is a very important work in the Church. Education in the faith can form souls and help lead students to lives of holiness.
Many Catholic schools in our world do good work educating children and forming them in the faith. But some Catholic schools do not live out their mission of Catholic education very fully.
There are many reasons Catholic schools in our modern society do not live up to their important mission at times. The influences of secular society, failure to hire committed Catholic staff members, or lack of understanding of the faith can all contribute to lukewarm or incomplete work in Catholic education.
We should keep Catholic schools in our prayers, asking God to help all Catholic schools to faithfully educate students in the faith.
Let’s offer prayers in this Novena for Catholic Schools that God will help all Catholic schools to be faithful to their important mission.
