Answered Prayers From This Novena

I have a testimony to make. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022. I’ve prayed for intercession from St. Agatha using your website during the treatment. My mother has been cancer free since early 2023. I have prayed with the novena whenever I’m too worried about her. Thanks to our dear Lord Jesus and St. Agatha for her intercession.

I just wanted to let you guys know about this. Thank you so much for hosting the website.

from A.T.


Prayed 16 novenas to Saint Agatha for a friend to be cured from stage 3 breast cancer and received this text from her:

Praise God and thank the Lord and Blessed Mother and all the saints and angels and all my prayer warriors on earth! Just got off the phone with my surgeon, and all cancer cells are dead and no cancer in lymph nodes and no live cancer cells in tumor that she removed. I’m cancer free! Thanks be to God!

from I.S.


I had breast cancer in my past but have been clear for several years.

When I had my annual mammogram this year, they sent me for an ultrasound and said I had two masses in the same breast that had breast cancer before. They had me come in for two biopsies, so I started the novena to Saint Agatha asking for her intercession.

Got my report yesterday. Both masses are totally benign. Thank you, Saint Agatha and thank you God for Saint Agatha.

from B.V.
