An unknown man living in the 17th century decided that he would donate his most treasured possession to the nuns in a Carmelite convent in Prague, Czechoslovakia.  This prized possession was a beautiful statue of the Infant Jesus clothed in red silk.  When he presented his gift to the nun he said, "As long as you venerate this Child, you shall not want."

 Upon receiving the statue the convent's financial difficulties disappeared almost immediately.  When word of the power of the Divine Infant spread, devotion to the "Infant of Prague" began to flourish.  Today, this devotion is observed throughout the world.

Over the years one of the most popular customs has been exchanging Infant of Prague statues among friends.  People who have devotion to the Infant of Prague have no doubt in the power of their devotion.  The Infant Jesus promises, "The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you."

 We celebrate our Infant of Prague Novena Tuesday evenings, 7:30 p.m.   Come and implore the Infant Jesus for your needs.
