Seven Sisters Apostolate
The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ.
Kris Wolf is starting a local chapter to pray for our parish pastor and associate pastor. The Seven Sisters are: 7 women who pray one Holy Hour a week on their assigned day. Prayer Substitutes: women and men who substitute pray when a sister is unavailable. The term of each sister & substitute is 1 year.
Where do I pray? At a church/chapel in front of the Tabernacle.
How do I pray for an hour? The Apostolate provides prayer materials.
Informational Meeting on Sunday, June 9,
7:00pm at the St. Joseph Chapel.
Enter through the north church door.
If unable to attend the meeting, call the parish office at 423-5001.
