The Novena to St. Philomena is a traditional 9-day prayer honoring one of the Church’s most cherished saints, known as the “Wonder-Worker” for the countless miracles attributed to her intercession since her relics were discovered in the Roman catacombs in 1802. Through her intercession, the faithful have sought healing for the sick, comfort in affliction, and protection in life’s greatest trials, trusting in her closeness to God as a powerful advocate before His throne.

We beseech Thee, O Lord, to grant us the pardon of our sins by the intercession of St. Philomena, Virgin and Martyr, who was always pleasing in Thy sight by her eminent chastity and by the profession of every virtue. Amen.
Illustrious Virgin and Martyr, St. Philomena, behold me prostrate before the throne whereupon it has pleased the Most Holy Trinity to place thee. Full of confidence in thy protection, I entreat thee to intercede for me with God. From the heights of Heaven, deign to cast a glance upon thy humble client.
Spouse of Christ, sustain me in suffering, fortify me in temptation, protect me in the dangers surrounding me, and above all, assist me at the hour of my death. Obtain for me the graces necessary to me, and in particular (make your request here).
St. Philomena, powerful with God, pray for us.
