The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a prayer ministry dedicated to strengthening the Church through prayer for our priests and bishops. Its mission is to ensure that a Holy Hour is offered each day of the week for the sole intention of one specific priest or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Matthew 26:10), generously lavishing prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ.
How It Works
A Seven Sisters group begins when at least seven women answer the call to this special mission. The initial recipient of the group’s prayers is the parish pastor. Each woman commits to one Holy Hour on a distinct day of the week, ensuring that the priest is covered in prayer every day. The Holy Hour is ideally prayed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament, either in an Adoration Chapel or before the Tabernacle. Each woman is asked to make this commitment for one year, with the opportunity to continue as she discerns God’s call.
