Thank you for joining us in this Eucharistic Revival Novena to St. John Vianney. A novena is a series of prayers that are said for nine consecutive days which dates back to the birthday of the Church. The nine days recall the days the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary spent in prayer between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost Sunday. We will be praying together each day, starting on 27 July and ending on 4 August, the Feast of St. John Vianney. During these nine days, we will pray before the Blessed Sacrament for an increase of Vocations to the Priesthood in the Archdiocese for the Military Services. Please join us in prayer via our Livestream broadcast on any of our social media platforms at: Facebook.com/milarchusa Twitter.com/milarchusa
