Let us prepare for the feast day of the Assumption by praying a Novena to ask for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  A Novena is nine days of prayer for special need or intention.  The Assumption is the oldest feast day of Mary and celebrates that she was taken up, body and soul, into heaven.

Join Sodality members in praying the Novena on your own each day beginning Sunday, August  7, and ending on the feast day, Monday, August 15.  This is an ideal opportunity to pray for Monsignor Tolentino.
