Prayers during July

Best Prayers during July

Falling entirely in the season of Ordinary Time, July is the month of the Precious Blood of Jesus. We celebrate the feasts of many saints in this summer month, including St. Junipero Serra, the Apostles Thomas and James, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, and St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit Order. In the United States, we celebrate Independence Day on July 4.
