Novena Prayer to St. Andrew
November 30 - December 24



Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold.


In that hour, O my God! To hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother.


Amen.


Reciting this special novena fifteen (15) times each day from the Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle (November 30) until Christmas Eve is a simple yet beautiful way to celebrate the Advent season.

Organ Replacement Campaign



St. Andrew the Apostle Parish has raised over $350,000 towards our $580,000 target for the new Peragallo organ coming to St. Andrews in May 2020. THANK YOU to all who have contributed. We will continue our fundraising events, so look for opportunities here as well as in the weekly parish bulletin to get involved.


Parishioners can support the organ replacement project by making a one-time or recurring contribution through Faith Direct www.faithdirect.net. The code for St. Andrews is VA310. Contributions may also be made in the organ fund envelope, provided in each month's offertory envelope packet.
