Nineveh 90 (2026): Solemnity of Mary → All Fools’ Day
January 1 – April 1, 2026
“Little by little, with confidence that HE will do the heavy lifting.”
Nineveh 90 is a 90‑day spiritual campaign of repentance, discipline, and renewal. It begins on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (January 1) and concludes on All Fools’ Day (April 1) — a fitting reminder that the wisdom of God overturns the wisdom of the world.
This journey is incremental. We take the St. Thérèse approach: offer small sacrifices, trust God with the interior work, and allow grace to build upon grace.
Participants are encouraged to:
- Form or join a Nineveh 90 Squad (3+ people)
- Choose an Accountability Buddy
- Use a simple group chat or Facebook group for encouragement
