Perpetual Novena to the Sorrowful Mother

[CathMass]

I have been reading about the Perpetual Novena of the Sorrowful Mother which began years ago in Chicago. Based on the things I have looked at, I found that many churches had adopted this novena but after Vatican II, the novena died out. Does anyone remember these Sorrowful Mother Novenas? Are there any churches that still practice it?

Not that one, but one of our local churchs has a perpetual Miraculous Medal Novena.

I found this article in Time magazine about the novena. (Perpetual Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows): time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,758753,00.html

I can’t seem to find the actual novena though anywhere - only the 9-day novena.

Maybe you can write to the church to see if they will send it?

This is one of the articles I read about it. I found an original copy of the novena on amazon and decided to get it.

I just put this thread out there to see if there were others who knew about this novena and perhaps remember the throngs that went there. I also was curious if any other church practiced this devotion in our “post-Vatican II” era.
