A NOVENA to the Sacred Heart will take place later this month at St John’s Church.
The nine days of prayer will begin on Thursday, May 26 and continue until June 3 at 6.10pm each evening at the church off Castle Street.
“This is the second year holding the event,” said Norma Foley of the St John’s Parish Council. “Last year it was hugely successful, particularly around this time of the year. Families come to pray for students doing exams and it was particularly popular with young people.”
There’s an open invitation to everybody from Tralee and beyond. It’s very much a community event and we’d like to see it grow and develop over the next few years,” said Norma.
There will be Novena prayers and reflection each evening and Service of Reconciliation with Confessions on the Sunday evening. The blessing of the Sacred Heart images and consecration of homes will take place on Friday, June 3.
