Join us in praying the Novena for Exams!

There are many occasions throughout our course of education and professional experience when we must take exams. Children from the young ages of grade school all the way through the upper grades of high school take exams many times. Students pursuing undergraduate degrees or advanced studies must also take exams.

There are also many instances throughout the course of professional life when we might need to take an exam in order to advance or to be hired. 

Taking exams can be difficult and stressful. There can be a lot of pressure surrounding exams because the results can greatly influence what we are able to do with our lives.

Those who are faced with exams are in need of prayers in order to do their best on the exams and to handle any associated stress well.
