Novena for Life Prayer Card
Life Day—Family & Life’s Nine-Day Novena for Life
On the first Sunday of October every year the Catholic Church in Ireland celebrates Life Day. This is in response to a call from Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae: “I propose that a Day of Life be celebrated every year in every country… Particular attention should be drawn to the seriousness of abortion and euthanasia….”
In 2005, Family & Life distributed 180,000 novenas to coincide with Life Day. This year our goal is to distribute 200,000 copies.
The 2006 Novena for the Unborn is a laminated prayer card and conveniently fits inside a prayer-book, purse, wallet or shirt pocket. You may order these novenas directly from Family & Life for free. Please contact Anu at: Tel: (01) 855 2790 or e-mail at: anu@fandl.iol.ie
We encourage people to pray the Novena wherever it's convenient. The Life Day Novena every year is a resounding success.
All Novenas last year were distributed and there was increased demand from all over Ireland, the UK and elsewhere for extra copies.
This year we are hoping that nearly 200,000 copies will have found their way into the homes and presbyteries of Ireland by the end of the year.
