Honor a Favorite Saint by Burning a Votive Candle
We have 45 images or shrines to choose from.
In addition to being the month of the Holy Souls, November is also the month of All Saints, and a good time to honor your favorite saints. Lighting a votive candle before a shrine or image honoring Our Lord, Our Lady or a saint is a venerable Catholic tradition symbolizing the desire to present our prayer in church day and night.
St. Gertrude the Great Church contains a vast array of beautiful shrines, statues and paintings in the altar reredos, the sanctuary, the votive altars, the side chapel and the nave.
We can burn 7-day votive candles at these shrines for your intentions. The customary offering is $7 per votive candle.
