Enter into Nine Days of Prayer, Healing, and Hope

Welcome to the Novena of Our Lady of the Snows, a cherished tradition of prayer, reflection, and grace. From July 28 to August 5, we will gather—wherever we are—to honor Our Blessed Mother and entrust her with our deepest hopes and needs.

For centuries, novenas—nine days of focused, faithful prayer—have been a powerful way for Christians to draw closer to God through the intercession of the saints. Our Blessed Mother has always held a special place in these devotions, as the one who lovingly leads us to her Son.

Each day of this novena, you’ll receive a heartfelt prayer and reflection meant to lift your spirit and deepen your trust in God’s providence. Whether you are praying for healing, strength, gratitude, or hope, know that you are not alone. Thousands will be united with you in prayer, forming a spiritual family rooted in faith.

We invite you to lift your heart to Heaven and walk this beautiful journey of devotion with us.
