Mental Health Novena | USCCB
The entire Church in the United States is especially encouraged to pray this Novena in solidarity with one another from October 10 to October 18 each year. October 10 is a fitting beginning as it is also World Mental Health Day. It is a time when people around the world are seeking to raise awareness and remove the stigma connected to mental health issues. This nationwide annual moment of prayer fittingly concludes on the feast of Saint Luke, patron of health care, on October 18.
Whether this Novena is prayed at the annual time of October 10 to 18, or at any other time of year of your choosing, may you know that we never make this journey alone.
Let us always pray with and for one another. USCCB
