Our school and parish are excited to continue our partnership with Hallow, the Catholic prayer and meditation app, with two summer prayer challenges!
If you’ve heard about our parish community page on Hallow but haven’t had a chance to explore it yet, this is the perfect opportunity. We’re inviting everyone—especially those who’ve been curious—to join us for a 9-session prayer experience called the Intro Prayer Challenge right on our parish Hallow page.
This Intro Challenge is a great way to get familiar with the Hallow app and our parish’s community space. Over the course of nine brief sessions, you’ll be introduced to three beautiful methods of prayer: Christian Meditation, the Examen, and Lectio Divina—all designed to help you deepen your relationship with God.
The challenge begins on July 1st, and we’d love for you to join us as we grow in faith and prayer together.
Then, on July 15th, we have a second challenge, the How to Pray 14-Day Prayer Challenge. This challenge will build upon the first, and push us to go even deeper. Guided by inspiring leaders like Fr. Mike Schmitz, Bishop Barron, Sr. Miriam, Jonathan Roumie, and Mark Wahlberg, you’ll explore 14 unique ways to pray over the 14 days. Together, we’ll focus on listening to God and letting prayer transform our hearts to share His love through charity and service.
To learn more and join our parish community on Hallow, see the sign up instructions below.
Let this be your invitation to experience the joy of praying together with your parish family, anytime and anywhere.
