Sacred Heart Novena

Beginning June 19, all Knights, their families and people of goodwill are invited to pray a Sacred Heart novena for the intentions of Pope Leo XIV.  

Please spread the word by encouraging all Knights in your area to take part in these nine days of prayer. Let them know that even if they miss some of the days, they should join in when they can! 

“Our new Holy Father can count on the loyalty and prayers of the Knights of Columbus — now and always,” Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly wrote in his recent column in Columbia, in which he called for the Orderwide novena.  

Anyone who wants to participate can sign up at www.kofc.org/papalnovena, where they can also submit their own prayer intentions. The supreme knight will bring those petitions to Rome later this October, when he goes on pilgrimage for the Jubilee year.   

The novena begins on the anniversary of Pope Leo XIV’s priestly ordination and ends on June 27, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
