40 Hours Devotion (September)

The practice of 40 Hours Devotion dates to as early as 1527, introduced by St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria in Milan and Vincenza, and spread by St. Ignatius and the Jesuits. It is biblically based on the 40 hours that Christ’s body rested in the tomb. 40 is a significant number in the Bible, often tied to trials and / or suffering: the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years, and Christ was tempted in the desert for 40 days prior to starting his ministry. During 40 Hours individual and families - Eucharistic Adorers – are needed to be present to the Real Presence, Jesus Christ, in solemn exposition in the most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

St. Vincent de Paul Novena (September)

St. Vincent de Paul was a French priest (24 April 1581 – 27 September 1660) who dedicated himself to serving the poor. He was renowned for his compassion, humility, and generosity. Vincent was canonized in 1737 and is venerated as a saint in both the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. Vincent is the patron of all works of charity.
