2010 Novena

Provide us with living waters... With the faint sound of Saint Anne's fountain flowing in the distance, this year's Novena preacher, Fr. Guy Desrochers of the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Redemptorist Province, led us through nine days of prayer and reflection before the celebration of Saint Anne's Feast Day on July 26.

2009 Novena

Let us be reconciled... The theme for the 2009 pilgrimage season invited us all to reflect on reconciliation: with ourselves, with others, and with the entire world. The Novena preacher who guided pilgrims and visitors in their reflection was Fr. Remi Hebert, a priest of the Edmonton-Toronto Redemptorist Province.

2008 Novena

The Novena preacher was Fr. Mike Brehl, who was then the provincial superior of the Edmonton-Toronto Redemptorist Province. The celebration that took place on the Feast Day was presided by Bishop Luigi Ventura, the Vatican's Apostolic Nuncio to Canada.

2007 Novena

The novena's theme was "Grant us peace in our day". For nine days, we were invited to live a pilgrimage in search of interior peace. An original, flamboyant decor adorned the Basilica's sanctuary.  Fr. Alfred Bradley, a missionary Redemptorist from the New York region, preached the English Novena.  The Solemn Mass that took place on the Feast Day (July 26) was presided by Bishop Jean-Pierre Blais, Auxiliary Bishop of Quebec City.
