Novena to St. Charles

| St. Charles Borromeo

November 4 is the memorial of our parish’s patron, St. Charles Borromeo. St. Charles (1539-1584) is the patron saint of learning and the arts, and of catechists. He performed many acts of charity and ministered to the sick during an outbreak of bubonic plague.

Please join us in praying a novena in honor of St. Charles over the nine days leading to his feast, Thursday, October 26 through Friday, November 3. The parish Zoom link will be open at 5 PM each day to pray the novena with fellow parishioners.

Don’t worry if you can’t make all nine days. The materials are available here if you would like to pray on one or more days on your own.
