Join the Novena for Seminarians & Priests
Unite with Catholics around the world in a special nine-day novena to St. Charles Borromeo, patron saint of seminarians and seminaries, running October 27 – November 4. Hosted by The Saint Paul Seminary, this novena invites the faithful to pray for seminarians and priests both locally and throughout the world.
Sign up to receive a daily prayer delivered straight to your inbox and know that you're praying alongside seminarians who will spend 40 hours in Eucharistic Adoration during "Borromeo Weekend," centered on St. Charles Borromeo's feast day of November 4.
The novena also falls during two of the Church's most beloved feast days, All Saints Day and All Souls Day, making it a powerful time to intercede for the souls of the faithful departed while supporting the next generation of shepherds.
