Give the gift of intercessory prayer to your priest and parish.

Seven women spiritually united in prayer, each offer-ing one hour of prayer, one day each week, solely for the intentions of the Pastor.

The hour within the given day can be flexible, and the manner of prayer is the gift of the Seven Sister.

The seven are formed so that each day of the week the Priest has the gift of intercessory prayer. The bond of prayer strengthens the Priest, the seven, the Church the community, and brings sus-taining grace.

Additional groups of Seven can be formed as the Apostolate continues to grow.

Any woman of the Parish is welcome to participate.

Faith in the Everyday

It's always in the practice of loving that we can get better and better.

Here are a few simple ways you and your family can practice putting your love in action this month.
 

Little habits for little prayers

Building prayer into our daily lives as a family is a great way to live out your faith in the little moments of life. You might have the wonderful habit of bedtime and prayers before meals, is there another small habit you can build to add more prayer to your family's life?

Habits seem to 'stick' better when they are anchored to something - like a meal, time of day, place, or event. Below are a few other examples of 'little reminders' we can use to stop and pray. Kids especially love ones that you have to 'be on the lookout for'. It connects the world around them with prayer.

Little reminders for short little prayers:

• When you hear an ambulance or sirens
• When you see your favorite animal or plant
• When driving by a church or hospital
• When you see a first responder, healthcare worker, or military personnel
• When you zip or unzip your backpack

Discuss as a family: What little reminder could you use to create a new prayer habit?

A Rosary for the Family has been created by the Holy Father’s Worldwide Prayer Network and the Vatican Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life. To help families pray and pray as a family, each mystery is accompanied by a watercolor drawing that helps families enter into the mysteries and meditations more profoundly so that they can become “cenacles of prayer for spreading Mary's love throughout the world.” A free downloadable eBook is available in multiple languages including Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English.
