This year, the Institute for Catholic Education (ICE) has chosen to turn our attention to the Feast of Pentecost, which will be celebrated on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
In this Jubilee Year, Pope Francis reminded us that our "hope is constantly renewed and confirmed by the working of the Holy Spirit." With this in mind, ICE invites the Catholic educational community to join in a special Novena to the Holy Spirit, reflecting on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and praying for strength, unity, and renewed hope in our school communities and beyond.
The Novena will begin with a Day of Preparation on Wednesday, May 28, followed by nine consecutive days of prayer starting Thursday, May 29 and concluding on Friday, June 6, 2025.
Each day of the Novena will focus on one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and will include a prayer drawn from the words of Pope Francis: "May the Holy Spirit illumine all believers in the light of Hope!"
