Light a Votive Candle

Having a Votive Candle lit is a beautiful form of prayer. The light from the candle is a powerful symbol of Christ, the Light of the World. You may have a Votive Candle lit for yourself, a loved one or a special intention.

Submit Your Intentions

The Missionary Oblates are here to pray for you, particularly in challenging times.

Walk with Mary. Prepare your heart. Receive grace waiting for you.

Join the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate for nine days of prayer, reflection, and renewal as we journey with the Blessed Virgin Mary toward the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Rooted in Marian devotion and the Oblate charism, this novena invites us to contemplate Mary’s purity, courage, and surrender—and to open our own hearts to the transforming grace of God.

The Immaculate Conception is not only a doctrine—it is a model of complete surrender to God. St. Eugene de Mazenod entrusted the Congregation to Mary under this title, recognizing in her a model of holiness and a mother for the poor. Today, Oblates around the world continue to live this Marian spirit through mission, mercy, and accompaniment.

Wherever you are on your spiritual path, seeking peace, clarity, healing, or deeper communion with Christ, this novena can help you begin again—with Mary as your guide.
