Novena of Grace in Honor of Saint Francis Xavier: March 4-12 at 7:00pm each night at Saint John’s Church at Creighton University, 2500 California Plaza, Omaha. Parking available in the lot at the corner of 24th and Cass Streets. Join Nebraska’s Jesuit parish for nine consecutive days of prayer in honor of Saint Francis Xavier. It is customary to pray the novena for a particular intention: for your own needs, those of your loved ones, or the needs of the world. Each day of the novena includes the veneration of a relic of Saint Francis Xavier, the opportunity to inscribe your intentions for the novena in a book of prayer at the Saint’s shrine, and a light reception afterwards. This year, both lay and ordained preachers will explore the theme, “Catholic Social Teaching in a Political World.” Details available at stjohns-creighton.org.
