Friday, 23rd September to Saturday 1st October 2022 at 7.30pm each evening
(7.00pm on Saturday)
Once again we are preparing to host our annual SMA Novena in honour of St Thérèse at St Joseph’s SMA Church, Blackrock Road, Cork. Most of us have prayer-needs in our lives and this Novena is a good time to present them to the Lord through the intercession of St Thérèse. She promised before she died that “I will let fall a shower of roses; I wish to spend my heaven in doing good upon the earth.” Perhaps one of her roses is for you this year! We have a range of speakers for Novena 2022 so we encourage you to join us at the Church or by Webcam to hear the messages they will share with us.
Below is the schedule of Dates, Celebrants, speakers and Themes.
We invite you to join us in St Joseph’s SMA Church Blackrock Road, Cork or via Webcam from wherever you are. To join via webcam, click on the image of St Thérèse in the top of this Website’s homepage – this will be visible from the 23rd of September.
