With joy and a spirit of community, the Company of Mary Our Lady invites the entire educational, religious, and lay community to participate in the Novena to Saint Joan of Lestonnac, a special time of prayer that prepares us to celebrate her life, legacy, and mission.

During these days, we will gather as a community to deepen our understanding of the spirituality of Saint Joan of Lestonnac, a woman of faith, educator, and guide, who inspires us to continue building paths of hope, service, and commitment to education.

The novena will be a space to:

Strengthen our spiritual life
Entrust ourselves to God as a community
Renew our sense of belonging to the Company of Mary
Pray for vocations and the educational mission

We invite schools, families, students, staff, and religious sisters to join this moment of prayer, either in person or from their homes, making each day an opportunity to encounter God and one another.

This novena will be shared through all the Province’s digital channels, in a podcast-style format hosted on YouTube, making it easily accessible and allowing the entire community to take part from anywhere and at any time.

May this time of grace help us continue walking together, inspired by the witness of Saint Joan, and renew our commitment to an education that transforms.
