Hallow App
Our Lady of Victory is thrilled to announce that we are partnering with Hallow, the #1 prayer app! Through prayer and meditation rooted in the Catholic faith, Hallow helps people grow closer to God
and find peace. Users are able to pray alongside Fr. Mike Schmidt, Sr. Miriam James, actors Mark Wahlberg and Jonathan Roumie, plus many more. The app also offers mental health and sleep content, audiobooks, and sacred music. All parishioners – paid subscribers and those on the free version – are invited to be a part of Our Lady of Victory’s parish page in the app. There, you’re able to create a profile, share prayer requests, and take part in prayer challenges together.
