Join us in Prayer

for an end to

the Coronavirus Pandemic Novena Prayer to St. Rocco

O Great St. Rocco, deliver us, we beseech thee, from the scourges of God; through thy

intercession, preserve our bodies from contagious diseases, and our souls from the

contagion of sin. Obtain for us salubrious air; but, above all, purity of heart.

Assist us to make good use of health, to bear suffering with patience; and, after thy

example, to live in the practice of penance and charity, that we may one day enjoy the

happiness which thou has merited by thy virtues.

St. Rocco, pray for us

(say three times).

Ms. Caitlin Finan received the Award of Meritorius

Service for Early Career Educator in the State of

Illinois. This is an incredible award for an incredible

teacher. Thank you to Mrs. Oetter for nominating

Ms. Finan for this award.
