Novena to St. Catherine of Siena

Nine Days of Prayer and Spiritual Reflection
Hosted by Catholic Communities Around Vicariate II of the Archdiocese of Chicago

April 20 – April 28, 2021

This nine-day journey to St. Catherine of Siena’s feast day on April 29 is the second novena by Catholic laity to unite the faithful in prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in healing and atonement for the clergy sex abuse crisis.

St. Catherine of Siena is known for her love of Christ and his Church. She appealed personally to Church leaders, including Pope Gregory XI, to enact the reforms needed to rekindle faith within the Church, and the love of Christ that produces obedience to him and his teachings. Her advocacy flowed from her communion with Christ. She lived in the 14th century, a time of great crisis in the Church. She died at the early age of 33.
