As the Church in the United States prepares to commemorate the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children, the Diocese of Metuchen invites the faithful to join in a prayerful novena for the protection of all life, from conception to natural death, as part of their local participation in the 9 Days for Life Novena. 

The 9 Days for Life Novena is prayed annually each January for the protection of human life. Each day’s intention is accompanied by a short reflection and suggested actions to help build a culture of life.

All the faithful of the Diocese of Metuchen are invited to join Jerry Wutkowski, Assistant Director of the Office of Communications and Public Relations and Co-Host of the diocesan podcast ‘Am I Not Here,’ in praying this novena for the protection of the gift of life in our state, nation, and world.

Recordings of the novena will be made available daily from January 19 - 27, 2022 at www.diometuchen.org/aminothere
