We are thrilled to announce that St. Mary's has been selected as a pilot parish for Hallow's Lenten Challenge. For those of you who don't know Hallow, it is the number 1 Catholic app in the world with over 7M downloads and 150M prayers completed within the app. 

 

Every Lent, Hallow organizes one of the largest community prayer programs in the world with over 200,000 projected participants in 2023. This year, we will be journeying through this content together as a parish, which is centered around the spiritual masterpiece, Imitation of Christ, written by Thomas à Kempis in the 15th century. 

 

To truly immerse ourselves in this content, we'll be working with Hallow directly to host a 7-week program through Lent with daily discussion questions and reflections.Hallow will host a kick-off event here at the parish on Thursday, February 23rd at 6pm where we'll walk through more details together, and dinner will also be provided! Please spread the word and bring your friends with you! To sign up for the challenge and RSVP to the event (even if you can't go), please click the button below.

If you are unable to attend the event, but would still like to participate in the program, please fill out the form. The challenge is built to allow for fully remote participants and we would love to have you journey through this content with us even if you are unable to make the kick-off event or any of the in-person sessions. 

 

Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you may. Can't wait to pray with you all this Lent!

In Christ,

Fr. Andy
