WHAT’S NEW
RECENTLY ADDED
15 Prayers of St. Bridget
The “15 Prayers of St. Bridget” is a devotion revealed to St. Bridget by Christ Himself, who disclosed that He suffered exactly 5,280 blows during His Passion. To honor each of those blows, Our Lord gave St. Bridget of Sweden fifteen prayers to be prayed daily for one full year — with each Our Father and Hail Mary honoring one of those 5,280 wounds.
Prayer to the Most Chaste Heart
The Prayer to the Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph is a beautiful devotion honoring the pure and loving heart of the man God chose to serve as foster father to His own Son and devoted spouse to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In praying these words, we are invited to pause and reflect on the extraordinary role St. Joseph played in the life of the Holy Family — not merely as a protector and provider, but as a father who tenderly raised Jesus, taught Him the Scriptures, led Him in prayer, and formed Him in the traditions of His people.
NOVENA
Novena to St. Joseph
March 10-18, 2026
This nine-day Novena to St. Joseph, guardian and protector of the Holy Family, is traditionally prayed from March 10–18 in preparation for his feast day on March 19th. Each day of the novena honors a different role St. Joseph was given in God’s plan of salvation — from Foster Father of Jesus and Virginal Husband of Mary, to Patron of the Church, Patron of Families, and Patron of a Happy Death. Rooted in deep devotion and theological reflection, this novena invites the faithful to draw closer to St. Joseph’s powerful intercession and to imitate his humility, obedience, and selfless love.
THE ROAD TO CALVARY
A collection of Lenten prayers & devotions designed to aid in personal reflection and spiritual renewal during the sacred season of Lent. These prayers embrace the Lenten journey of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, and can be used in private devotion or communal worship to help make your Lenten experience more meaningful as you prepare for the celebration of Easter.
This version of The Stations of the Cross remains one of the most widely used formats for the Stations of the Cross, particularly during Lent and especially on Good Friday. St. Alphonsus wrote it in 1761, focusing on making the meditation accessible while maintaining theological depth.
THE MONTH OF MARCH
March is the Month of St. Joseph!
The Catholic Church dedicates the month of March to St. Joseph, the foster father of Our Lord Jesus Christ and spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In his honor, we have created a special playlist of St. Joseph prayers and devotions to help you grow in devotion to this great saint throughout the month.
