Novena of Grace leaflet  | Nine day Novena of Grace, bringing Intentions to the Lord and opening ourselves to his Grace.
Its special focus is on the following of Jesus with the example of the life of St Francis Xavier.
This novena originated in Naples, Italy in 1643, when a Jesuit, Fr. Marcello Mastrilli, was cured through the intercession of St. Francis Xavier, who promised him that those who made the nine days novena would receive many graces and favours. Thus the name, Novena of Grace. It was first held in Dublin in 1712, in the church at Mary’s Lane, now in Halston Street parish, and began in Gardiner Street church in 1831, the year the church was built. It is held each year from 4-12 March (the anniversary of the canonisation of St. Francis Xavier). | Price: €0.30
