Annual
Novena
Each year, CMN kicks off #RespectLifeMonth with nine days of prayer.
A Novena to End the Death Penalty
This prayer resource features nine days of prayer that lift up the dignity of life and the Catholic call to end the death penalty.
CMN prays this novena each year starting on October 1, which begins Respect Life Month, celebrated each October. These nine days of prayer prepare us for World Day Against the Death Penalty (October 10).
Sign up below to join us in praying the 2024 Novena. Participants will receive an email on the morning of each day of the novena with the prayer and intention for that day.
