The Coronavirus Novena
".... always pray and not give up" - Luke 18:1
While we face the Coronavirus pandemic, let us turn to the face of God in prayer and ask for His healing, His help and His protection. Let us seek the face of God as children of God. Fathers Deo and Tomasz will continue with celebration of Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (alone) as your Priests and Spiritual guides.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
