(New Rochelle, NY – December 14) – This year’s Christmas Novena begins this Saturday, December 16, and will last through Christmas Eve. If your community will be using the traditional O Antiphons Novena, you may consider using this resource in place of the Scripture passage and response for the Evening Prayer of the day, and to provide an opportunity for reflection.
These readings might be an additional tool for preparation for the upcoming provincial chapter and General Chapter 29.
Please also visit the province’s social media pages, Salesians of Don Bosco, Canada and Eastern USA (Facebook) and @salesiansue (Instagram), each day starting on Saturday for the novena. It will be posted to the stories for both pages and will also be available as a post on Facebook. Addtionally, all are encouraged to visit the province office of youth and young adult ministry’s social media pages, Salesian Youth Ministry (Facebook) and @sym_bosco (Instagram). The stories will be reposted and shared there, too.
May God bless you and be with you as we approach Christmas!
