We are always called to pray.

But, especially now, the need for prayer is even greater.

For our families and for our world.

Together with Holy Cross Family Ministries,

we invite you to delve into the heart of prayer. 

​

Rediscover the gift of family prayer.

​

Encounter the example of Venerable Fr Patrick Peyton, CSC,

a model of hope and prayer for our times,

buried within our own diocese,

and currently on the path to canonization.

​

This Lent, let us pray together.

​

We're here to help. Access materials and resources below.

THE STORY OF PATRICK PEYTON

This inspiring documentary chronicles a poor Irish teen, who journeys to America hoping to become a millionaire. Instead, he is miraculously healed of tuberculosis, and spends his life inspiring millions to experience the power of prayer. We see Father Patrick Peyton’s years in Hollywood, where he enlists the stars of his day — from Bing Crosby to Jimmy Stewart to Princess Grace — to create radio dramas and TV specials that spread his famous message, “The family that prays together stays together.” Then Father Peyton takes to the globe, gathering millions at Rosary events, to hear his message of family unity through prayer.
