Prayer Novena Now Going On In Diocese The Novena of Prayer for peace and for the persecuted Church, recoJl1mended by the Most Reverend Bishop, is now taking place in the 105 par­ ish churches and the 82 chapels of the Diocese. . _ This Novena, preceding the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, was called for by the Holy Father who pointed out that the Church has always. looked to Mary in time of special danger. All indications are that many of the faithful are making the sacrifice to attend the Novena. This is especially true of the vacation areas of th' Diocese where many visitors to' the Cape and Islands are joining with residents of the Diocese in this united prayer for the intentions set forth by the Pope.
