U.S. Catholic Bishops promote a novena for Church freedom ahead of Christ the King feast.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is encouraging a novena from November 15 to 23, leading up to the Solemnity of Christ the King on November 24. The prayers focus on the "freedom of the Church," including intentions for the protection of religious gatherings, support for persecuted individuals, and promoting a culture of life in workplaces. The feast, established by Pope Pius XI in 1925, aims to counter secularism by emphasizing Jesus' sovereignty in all aspects of life.
