priest we strengthen the Church! Seven Sisters is an apostolate in which a group of

seven women join together to pray for a priest holding a particular office within the

diocese. The seven women commit for a year to pray a holy hour every week, each

on a different day. The holy hour is solely for that one priest's sanctification and for

his deepening devotion to the Blessed Mother. We start by covering the pastors in

our diocese and then expand to other priests who assist them and those who hold

other offices within our diocese. Currently, there are many pastors and positions in

our diocese which do not have a Seven Sister Group. If you feel the Holy Spirit

calling you to this ministry please check out the website, sevensistersapostolate.org date to up most the for site our web visit Please
