In the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, we encounter our Blessed Mother, Mary, whose heart was completely united with God from the very beginning. Her unwavering trust allowed her to say “yes” to God’s plan without fear, opening the door for the miracle of the Incarnation. Today, we are invited to place that same confidence in God’s unfailing love and power. Join us for day two in praying a novena through the intercession of Venerable Patrick Peyton, asking for a miracle for your family and trusting that God delights in answering the prayers of His children.

Since 2009, Holy Cross Family Ministries has honored the Anniversary of Venerable Patrick Peyton's Birth with a Family Rosary Novena. As we continue this cherished tradition, we invite you to join us from January 9 - 17, 2026, as we pray for Father Peyton and Our Blessed Mother’s intercession for our families' hopes and concerns. There is always someone in need of prayer. Seeking heavenly guidance and assistance through intercessory prayer, especially when you feel most helpless, is a tremendous gift that our Catholic faith offers. Intercessory prayer fortifies our prayers when we pray with those whom the Church declares to be in heaven—Venerables, Blesseds, and Saints. This is where miracles begin!
