Brothers and sisters,
Are you looking for a way to slow down and connect with God during this incredibly busy and challenging time? We wanted to share a digital faith resource that we hope will help you to do just that.
Hallow
is a Catholic prayer and meditation app that guides users in deepening
their relationship with God through audio-guided contemplative prayer
sessions. Despite launching just over a year ago, Hallow is now the #1
Catholic app in the US app store with 150,000 downloads in over 50
countries, a 4.9 star rating, and over 750,000 prayer & meditation
sessions completed through the app.
You can download the app here.
The app comes recommended by a number of Bishops, priests, families, and teachers across the country. You can get a quick tour of its features here on YouTube.
Hallow
is making a special effort to help parishes during this health crisis
to ensure that our social distancing does not lead to spiritual
distancing from God.
There
is both a permanently free version of the app, with content updated
daily, as well as a premium version with additional content (how Hallow
supports their team without selling advertisements or user data). The
premium version usually comes with a 7-day free trial, but in an effort
to support parishioners across the country, the Hallow team has extended
the free trial period to 3 months.
The app includes a set of Spiritual Communion sessions. Though not a replacement for receiving the physical sacrament, spiritual communion can act as a powerful way for us to seek union with Christ for those who are not able to or not comfortable returning to Mass in person just yet. The app also includes a “Stuck at Home Praylist” to help us all find peace and healing during this time of stress and anxiety.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out directly to the Hallow team at info@hallow.app.
God bless you all.
