A Message from The Catholic Crusade
The Church dedicates the month of January to the Holy Name of Jesus. It is also a month when we celebrate the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, the Epiphany of the Lord, and the Baptism of the Lord.
There are three special novenas that are commonly prayed in the month of January:
The Surrender Novena (January 1-9) is a novena intended for offering up to Jesus all of one's problems, worries, needs, etc... entrusting in Him to take them and handle them in accordance with His will. Though this novena can be prayed anytime of the year, we always like to feature it in January in order to start the new year off on a positive note.
The Infant of Prague Novena (January 5-13) is a nine-day prayer devotion and petition to the Child Jesus and His Sacred Heart. The novena concludes on the day before the Feast of the Infant Jesus of Prague (January 14).
The 9 Days for Life Novena (January 13-21) is a pro-life devotion in which prayers and penances are offered up for the sake of the unborn and their parents. The novena leads up to the annual Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children (January 22).

SCAM ALERT: Sadly, we have been dealing with scammers creating YouTube channels using our "The Catholic Crusade" name and logo... pretending to be us... asking our viewers to send donations to an orphanage in Africa via a phone app. THIS IS A SCAM. Please be careful with whom you send money to on the Internet. Verify all information before sending money to anyone who claims to be from a charitable organization.
Wishing you a blessed and happy New Year!
