The Novena to the Holy Spirit

9 Days of Prayer • One Parish Family

Dear Parish Family,

As we celebrate the Ascension, we prepare our hearts for the promised gift of the Holy Spirit. In honour of our 100th Anniversary, we invite you to join us in a parish-wide Novena to the Holy Spirit.

Our Intentions

For the renewal of our parish home.

For an abundance of the Fruits of the Spirit in our community.

That others may find healing, mercy, and a home at St. Patrick’s.

How it Works

When: Starts this Friday, ending on Pentecost Sunday.

Where: Right here! We will send you a daily link to the Amen App.

Action: Simply click the link each morning to listen and pray along (approx. 5–10 minutes).

“Come Holy Spirit, fill us with Your power and renew us!”

Let us pray as one family to see what surprises the Spirit has in store for our next 100 years.

Step into His Presence

PRAY TODAY: DAY 9

That in times of confusion, pressure, trials, and conflicts may we learn to control our emotions through silence, taking time to internalize the situation to resist unwanted behavior or actions. Come, Holy Spirit. Come. 🙏

That the Holy Spirit may bring consolation to those mourning the loss of a loved one, bring supernatural healing to the sick and freedom to those bound by chains of any form of addition. I ask in Jesus' name for the glory of God.

Centenary Legacy: A Sanctuary of Mercy

“Over the past ten decades, thousands have crossed the threshold of St. Patrick’s carrying heavy hearts, quiet grief, or the excitement of a new beginning in the valley. Our archives are quietly rich with the testimonies of families who arrived seeking nothing more than a quiet space to pray, only to discover an immediate sanctuary of healing, a profound experience of God’s mercy, and a community that quickly transformed an unfamiliar town into their true spiritual home.”
