The Fourteen Holy Helpers are a group of early martyrs who have been collectively invoked since the 14th century in response to the Black Plague which devastated Europe.They are:  Ss. George, Blaise, Pantaleon, Vitus, Erasmus (Elmo), Christopher, Giles, Cyriacus, Achatius, Dionysius (Denis), Eustace, Catherine of Alexandria, Margaret and Barbara.  In the 16th century, Pope Nicholas V attached certain indulgences to their devotion. Sadly, since the "reforms" they aren't as well known or invoked as they should be. We would like to remedy that.O Faithful servants of God and powerful protectors of man, Holy Helpers! Since Our Lord appointed you the heavenly advocates for our needs on earth, I confidently turn to you for help in my distress. Countless numbers praise you for aiding them with counsel in doubt, with consolation in anxiety, with health in illness, with safety in danger,…See More

Please say the following prayer each day in July, the month dedicated to Our Savior's Most Precious Blood, in reparation to His Sacred Heart, from which flowed the last drops of His Precious Blood on the Cross.O Precious Blood of Jesus, infinite price of sinful man's redemption, both drink and laver of our souls, Thou who does plead continually the cause of man before the throne of infinite mercy.  From the depths of my heart I adore Thee, and so far as I am able I would requite Thee for the insults and outrages which Thou does continually receive from human beings, and especially from those who rashly dare to blaspheme Thee. Who would not bless this Blood of infinite value?  Who does not feel within himself the fire of the love of Jesus, who shed It all for us?  What would be my fate, had I not been redeemed by this Divine Blood?  Who has drawn it from the veins of my Savior,…See More

Peter and Paul, I choose thee this day and forever to be my special patrons and advocates.  Thou, O Blessed St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles because thou art the Rock upon which Almighty God has built His Church.  Thou, O Blessed St. Paul, because thou were chosen by God as a vessel of election and preacher of truth to the whole world. Obtain for me, I humbly pray thee, lively faith, firm hope and burning charity; complete detachment from myself, contempt of the world, patience in adversity, humility in prosperity, attention in prayer, purity of diligence in fulfilling the duties of my state in life, constancy in my resolutions, resignation to the Will of God and perseverance in the Grace of God even unto death so that by means of thy intercession and thy glorious merits I may overcome the devil and be made worthy of the promises of Christ, enjoy His presence…See More

 Behold at thy feet, O Mother of Perpetual Help, a wretched sinner who has recourse to thee and confides in thee. O Mother of mercy, have pity on me. I hear thee called by all the refuge and the hope of sinners: be then, my refuge and my hope. Assist me, for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch forth thy hand to a miserable fallen creature who recommends himself to thee, and who devotes himself to thy service for ever. I bless and thank Almighty God, who in His mercy has given me this confidence in thee, which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation. It is true that in the past I have miserably fallen into sin, because I had not recourse to thee. I know that, with thy help, I shall conquer. I know, too, that thou wilt assist me, if I recommend myself to thee; but I fear that, in time of danger, I may neglect to call on thee, and thus lose my soul. This grace, then, I ask of…See More
