Rejoice - For God, For the Future

As we celebrate 75 years of Novena Church, Fr. Charles Antony, invites us to remember God's abundant blessings, rejoice in His faithfulness, and renew our commitment to His mission. Novena Church, through the intercession of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, has become a refuge for all - welcoming people of every race, religion, and background as beloved children of God.Fr Charles reminds us that everything begins and ends with God. Creation is not a finished work but an ongoing mystery in which we are continually renewed and reborn into the life Jesus promises. Mary plays a central role in this plan as well: chosen to be the Mother of Jesus, she leads all of us to her Son. The greatest gifts humanity has received are Jesus in the Eucharist, and His mother, given to us at the Cross as our Mother and intercessor. He urges the faithful to continue to bring the Good News, strengthened by Mary's guidance and God's enduring love, as Novena Church journeys into the future.- Novena Devotion by Fr.
