Carolina Family Coalition and our pro-life program, Carolina Pro-Life Action Network, are joining the annual 54-day Rosary Novena for Our Nation and are inviting all Catholics in the Carolinas to participate.

The Rosary begins August 15 (feast of the Assumption) and concludes on October 7 (feast of the Holy Rosary).  To participate, please pray 1 Rosary daily from August 15 through October 7 (following the specific mystery calendar below).

If one already prays a daily Rosary, please pray an additional Rosary, specifically for this novena/intention: For the conversion of our country back to God and to holiness.

Per Fr. Richard Heilman (the novena organizer): People have asked over time about the Luminous Mysteries — this novena was given by Our Lady as noted above in 1884 and only allows for the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries.
