    Saint Andrew Novena; A Christmas Prayer to Conceive a Baby

    Saint Andrew is not known as a patron saint of fertility (these saints are!), but he is known for having a very special chaplet/novena that you can pray when you are trying to conceive.

    The Feast Day of Saint Andrew is November 30, and you pray the chaplet starting on that day, through til Christmas Eve.

    Praying this Christmas Novena is a very sweet way to celebrate Advent, prepare for Christmas in your heart, and ask for Saint Andrew to intercede on your behalf while trying to conceive.

    The Christmas chaplet is also called the Christmas Anticipation Prayer.

    See my curated list of Fertility Prayers for Catholics here!

    Who was Saint Andrew?

    Andrew was the older brother of Simon Peter, and he was one of the very first disciples. It is thought he was very close to Jesus.

    If you remember when in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus is walking on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he sees Andrew and Simon Peter fishing. He calls them to come with him and become fishers of men!

    Andrew preached Jesus’s word throughout what is now Greece and Turkey, and he was crucified.

    Saint Andrew is considered the patron saint of fishermen and of several countries, including Scotlant, Russia, Romania, Ukraine, and Barbados.

    The Christmas Anticipation prayer with Saint Andrew

    How to Pray the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena for Fertility

    Pray the prayer below every day, 15 times a day, from November 30 until Christmas Eve.

    I know it seems weird, because its not a true “Novena” which would be 9 days of prayer, but this is a 25 day prayer sequence.

    It will surely get you into the true holiday spirit of prayer and will provide you with a special Advent practice during your time of waiting.

    So print this, save this, screen shot it, something, so you can say this prayer 15 times a day from now until Christmas Eve.

    Be sure to ask specifically for your intention that you want to get pregnant. Make your intention as specific as possible.

    Consider actually visualizing Mary giving birth, and you yourself giving birth (easily and with grace) as you pray.

    Christmas Saint Andrew Novena

    Hail, and blessed be the hour and moment at which the Son of God was born of a most pure Virgin at a stable at midnight in Bethlehem in the piercing cold. At that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, to hear my prayers and grant my desires.

    (Mention your intentions here)

    Through Our Savior Jesus Christ and His most Blessed Mother. Amen.

      I’ve never heard of this Novena before and I think it’s not only beautiful, but also, as you said, an excellent way to prepare our hearts for the coming of Child Jesus.
      Too bad I forgot that I had to pray it 15 times a day 🙁 . I’ll start from today anyways. It’ll still work as a prayer for Advent.
      And I love the name Andrew, by the way!
      Thank you very much for this and all the other prayers.
      I got pregnant las year for the first time after 13 months of TTC and one month before I started doing three things: a 30 day novena prayer to Saint Joseph of the Mountain (wearing a special lace around my belly); a homeopathy treatment for my general health and to get pregnant, and most of the advices you give on this blog. So thank you, again. I never got to tell you. My baby girl was born on March 5, 2020 and her name is Jacinta of the Inmaculate Heart. Hoping to get her some siblings sonner than later 🙂

      Hi, thank you so much! Do we need to pray a Holy Father, Hail Mary and Glory be after the prayer?

        No, that’s not part of the traditional Novena, but it sure doesn’t hurt 🙂
