NEW NOVENA TIMES
Novena Theme
Icon of Mercy
Novena Preachers
Clonard Solemn
Novena
In honour of
Our Mother of
Perpetual Help
This year marks the 150th
Jubilee Year of the
Redemptorists’ special
mission of making the Icon of
Our Mother of Perpetual Help
known throughout the world.
It has been a time of
celebration and renewal of
this mission to strengthen our
love for the Mother of God.
The Church is also celebrating
the Holy Year of Mercy, a time
of grace, peace, conversion
and joy. It is meant for
everyone: people of every age,
for those far or near to the
Church.
The Novena is a time to pray
with Mary and celebrate God's
outpouring of abundant graces
and crazy love.
Everybody is
Welcome!

Traffic & Parking
The Clonard Novena draws thousands of people each day
to our Church and local community. We ask motorists to
follow the directions of the stewards in the car park and to
have special consideration for local residents and their
parking requirements. We ask people, when possible, to car
share or to use public transport
New Novena Times
In response to the survey completed at last year’s Solemn
Novena, changes have been made to the times of Novena
Sessions. We encourage you to carefully read the timetable
overleaf to familiarise yourself with the new times.
Clonard: A Safe Place For All
The Redemptorists in Ireland promote the highest
standards for the safeguarding of children and vulnerable
