Pray a Novena for Protection and Healing from Abuse

Every April, Catholic parishes and schools across the United States participate in National Child Abuse Prevention Month. While dioceses work year-round to prevent abuse, during this month a special emphasis is placed on the importance of learning how to protect the vulnerable from this evil. Together with your family identify nine days to pray that the vulnerable are protected from abuse, and that survivors of abuse may be accompanied on their paths to healing.
