Novena to St. Agnes
January 12-20, 2026
Novena begins this Monday, January 12, 2026
St. Agnes was a young Roman girl who, at just 12 or 13 years old, chose martyrdom rather than renounce her faith and marry a pagan nobleman. Known for her unwavering devotion to Christ and her commitment to purity, St. Agnes is often depicted holding a lamb, symbolizing her innocence and her name’s connection to “agnus” (Latin for lamb).
St. Agnes remains one of the most beloved virgin martyrs of the early Church, and this novena seeks her powerful intercession.
