Novena of Grace
in honour of St. Francis Xavier
took place in Halston Street from
4th March to 12th March 2009
A huge thanks to all who attended the Novena of Grace in Halston Street church from 4th March to 12th March 2007. You made it the success it was.
Fr. Donal opened the novena on the first day, welcoming everyone and inviting them to journey with St. Francis Xavier for the nine days. On each of the following days, Fr. Donal welcomed the preachers as they led eight very special prayerful celebrations. Musicians and singers added to the atmosphere on each of the nine days.
But don't just take our word for it! Here are some of your comments -
"that was the best retreat in ages - not pious but very down to earth…"
"beautiful nine days - thanks"
"I only intended coming one night and ended up staying for the nine - excellent"
"loved the variety of speakers; great atmosphere"
"the speakers were very natural - not preachy like the old days"
"very grounded - must have taken a lot of work to put the novena together - thanks"
"can we have another SOON?!"
