You are invited to join our Lady’s Association in spirit, for the Pentecost Novena of Masses which begins on Friday, May 22, here at the Shrine and ends the day before Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is a time of promise.  Mary and the apostles prayed for nine days until the “promise,” of the Holy Spirit descended upon them at Pentecost. They knew the power of the novena. So that you, too, can experience the power of nine days of prayer, send your Pentecost intentions and burn Votive Lights as a symbol of your confidence in Mary’s motherly intercession. During this novena, say this prayer to the Holy Spirit.
