82nd ANNUAL HEALING AND HOPE NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS
“FINDING HEALING AND HOPE”
MONDAY, JULY 28, THROUGH TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2025
7:00 PM MASS NIGHTLY
NATIONAL SHRINE OF OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS – AT THE CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF THE SNOWS
For over 80 years, the annual Healing and Hope Novena to Our Lady of the Snows has been a spiritual inspiration for the faithful who have attended.
These nine consecutive nights of Masses are truly special times of solemn prayer, and each night of the novena focuses on a different healing theme.
We all have trials and difficulties in our lives. Through prayer and the intercession of Our Lady, we seek the answers to overcome these obstacles. But there is also much joy during the novena – joy created by uniting together in prayer, and the joy of knowing God loves us and hears our prayers.
Each nightly Mass includes special reflections, prayers and music, and concludes with a beautiful praying of the rosary by candlelight. Join us in prayer for any or all of these nine evening Masses,
as we pray for our own needs and those of our whole world.
