The Novena to Santo Nino begins Saturday at Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral in Charleston and continues for nine days as a special devotion to the infant Jesus.

Following the 5:30 p.m. Saturday mass, Monsignor Frederick P. Annie, Episcopal Vicar for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, will serve as principal celebrant.

“He will bless a new shrine dedicated to the divine infant Jesus, officially called Santo Nino,” said Monsignor P. Edward Sadie, rector of Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral.

The new shrine was designed and manufactured by Sal Rossi of Quality Wood in Eleanor. The shrine will hold the statue of the infant Jesus that has been at Sacred Heart for many years.
