The 10th Novena of 2019 to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Therese (the Little Flower) offered by the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Loretto will open on October 22 and end of October 30. All intentions submitted to the nuns will be remembered with the Novena prayers following the daily Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the nuns’ chapel.
