Prayers to Saint Anne: Novena to St. Anne

Prayers to St. Anne for special intentions. Saint Anne is the patroness of unmarried women, housewives, women in labor or who want to be pregnant, grandmothers, and educators. Saint Anne’s feast day is on July 26th, so the St. Anne Novena is traditionally started on July 17th — but you can pray it anytime. Devotion to St. Anne began early in the history of the Catholic Church. As she was favored by God to become the mother of the holy Virgin Mary, she is often invoked as the Patron of mothers as well as for relationships, among other things.
