For over 98 years, we have been serving rural communities and promoting Catholic life in rural America. Every year hundreds of people across the country join together for a very special Novena to St. Isidore, patron of farmers and Catholic Rural Life. Each day a Bishop leads us through the novena, lifting up all the intentions of rural communities throughout our country.
Videos are on our Facebook and posted here.
