Day 1: Novena Prayer to St. Peter Chanel
April 19, 2026
To enrich the Marist Project with the fire of the Holy Spirit given as a gift to Marists in their vocational call.
Lord, send the fire of your Spirit upon each one of us. May we follow St. Peter Chanel and commit ourselves with confidence to the mission you have entrusted to us.
Loving God, you inspired Jean-Claude Colin to live a life faithful to the Gospel and in the spirit of Mary. If it is your will that he be honored as a saint to the glory of your name, please show us the favor he enjoys in your sight by granting us an increase of vocation through his intercession. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Novena prayers can be found HERE.
