Has anyone done the St. Anthony Novena? If so, please let me know how it is done and what to expect. I’ve searched the internet and have gotten conflicting information on how the “9 days” are performed. Some say done 9 consecutive Tuesdays. Others say just 9 days in a row.

What is the proper way?

Thanks.

Houston1,I usually start the novena on a Tuesday. This I found was easier for me, the 9 days in a row. I have done the 9 tuesdays, even when i wrote down on the calender the day I started, I ended up getting side tracted. Try and do what your schedule allows I always pray the chaplet that goes with the novena prayers I have. I am very devoted to Saint Anthony.

Ana,

Thanks for the information. I’m glad to hear from another person from the Houston area. Btw, what is the chaplet? And, were your prayers answered in the way you expected? Do you have to pray in the Church, light a candle, or any other thing?

Thanks for your help.

A chaplet is like a rosary. I have several novenas to Saint Anthony and one of the novena tells me to pray the chaplet. I bought mine at Sacco’s. Sacco’s is a religious shop located on San Jancinto street. You can get chaplet at most catholic religious shops here in the city or on line. I say novena at home or before mass starts. Not all churchs have a place to light candles, you can light candle at home.

Sorry I didn’t back sooner, But this move from house to apartment is driving me a little nuts. I hope this helps you some. When in doubt ask priest or call nearest catholic chuch
 
Thanks to all of you who replied to my message. I actually started the novena based on the ewtn version last Friday. I just read all of your additional responses right now. I am confident that the Lord will hear my prayer no matter which version. I’m glad you all gave me ideas. I take a look into them when I plan to pray another novena.
