As we have done in previous years, we will proceed Saint Gianna’s Feast Day Mass on April 28, with a 9-day Novena, beginning Wednesday, April 20, through Thursday, April 28. If you subscribe to our eNewsletter, you will receive the email reminder on each of the 9 days beginning Wednesday, April 20, and ending on Thursday, April 28. If you wish to subscribe to our eNewsletter, you can do so by going to https://www.saintgianna.org/main.htm and completing the web page form. Please note that we use a third-party vendor, GetResponse, that requires you to confirm your subscription; otherwise, your subscription is not official, and you will not receive our eNewsletters. This protects you and prevents us from adding people without their permission to our eNewsletter subscription.
Some of us need God’s Blessings for the healing of body and/or soul, or for a difficult situation, or for peace. Others are grateful to God for His Blessings. We invite you to join with us in praying the 9-day Novena in your home from Wednesday, April 20, through Thursday, April 28.
We will be sending shortly another email with directions on how to online submit petitions to be included in the Petition Basket at the First Event on Thursday, April 28, at 8 a.m. Mass at Nativity of Our Lord Parish Church and Philadelphia Archdiocesan Shrine of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla.
Please mark your calendars accordingly!
May God Bless and Watch Over You and Your Loved Ones!
