Holy Family Parish

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.

The Seven Sisters Apostolate is an apostolate that is already up and running in parishes around the country with about a dozen currently funtioning in our own diocese.

The idea is that we get at least one woman for each day of the week offering an hour of prayer for a specific priest (to be assigned).  You offer that hour of prayer for your assigned parish priest, his needs, struggles, intentions, etc.  Then you spend that hour praying a Rosary, doing spiritual reading or in any manner you wish.
