Return to Our Lady:

Join the 9 Month Novena honoring our Lady of Guadalupe

Prayer to be prayed daily from March 12 to December 12: 

‍O Virgin Mother of God, we fly to your protection and beg your intercession against the darkness and sin which ever more envelop the world and menace the Church. Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, gave you to us as our mother as He died on the Cross for our salvation. So too, in 1531, when darkness and sin beset us, He sent you, as Our Lady of Guadalupe, on Tepeyac to lead us to Him Who alone is our light and our salvation.

Through your apparitions on Tepeyac and your abiding presence with us on the miraculous mantle of your messenger, Saint Juan Diego, millions of souls converted to faith in your Divine Son. Through this novena and our consecration to you, we humbly implore your intercession for our daily conversion of life to Him and the conversion of millions more who do not yet believe in Him. In our homes and in our nation, lead us to Him Who alone wins the victory over sin and darkness in us and in the world. Unite our hearts to your Immaculate Heart so that they may find their true and lasting home in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Ever guide us along the pilgrimage of life to our eternal home with Him. So may our hearts, one with yours, always trust in God’s promise of salvation, in His never-failing mercy toward all who turn to Him with a humble and contrite heart. Through this novena and our consecration to you, O Virgin of Guadalupe, lead all souls in America and throughout the world to your Divine Son in Whose name we pray. Amen.

First Friday promises:

Our Lord made these promises to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque regarding those who practice the Nine First Fridays and have a deep devotion to His Sacred Heart. The Twelve Promises listed below includes the “Great Promise” (number 12).

1. I will give them all of the graces necessary for their state of life. 
2. I will establish peace in their homes. 
3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions. 
4. I will be their strength during life and above all during death. 
5. I will bestow a large blessing upon all their undertakings. 
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy. 
7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent. 
8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection. 
9. I will bless every place where a picture of my heart shall be set up and honored. 
10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts. 
11. Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out. 

12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant all to those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

Priestly Vocations

Are you a man who is wondering what to do with your life? Do you want to live a life that is totally dedicated to serving God and helping other souls get to Heaven? Consider the Priesthood! 

The Diocese has put together a good website for discerners: AJVocations.org

“Don’t let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.

With your apostolic life, wipe out the trail of filth and slime left by the corrupt sowers of hatred. And set aflame all the ways of the earth with the fire of Christ that you bear in your heart.” St. Josemaria Escriva

Welcome to St Andrew Church!
