## What is Catholic Novenas?

Enter the sacred season of Advent and Christmas-tide with a complete collection of traditional Catholic Novenas, accompanied by the most beautiful masterpieces of sacred art.

From the Feast of Saint Andrew (November 30) through the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (January 1), this app gathers the classic Novenas of the season in one reverent place:

• Saint Andrew Christmas Novena (the beloved Christmas Anticipation Prayer)
• Novena to the Immaculate Conception
• Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe
• Christmas Novena with the O Antiphons
• Novena to the Holy Family
• Novena to Mary, Mother of God

Each Novena is presented day by day. Daily prayers unlock only on their proper dates, marked by a gold indicator so you always know where you are in the season. A full Calendar, Dates Index, and Prayers Index remain available at all times.

The app is enriched by carefully chosen sacred images:
– Thomas Cole’s monumental “The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds”
– Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s radiant Immaculate Conception, Adoration of the Magi, Holy Family, and Madonna and Child
– Carlo Crivelli’s Saint Andrew
– The miraculous tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe

A plenary indulgence, granted by Pope Pius VII, is attached to the faithful observance of these Novenas under the usual conditions.

Designed for quiet, focused prayer — free of ads, subscriptions, and distractions. May these Novenas and the beauty of sacred art draw you more deeply into the mystery of the Incarnation.

Download now, then set a reminder in the App so you are ready the moment each Novena begins.
