The Catholic Church of Philadelphia has partnered with Hallow as part of the ongoing Trust & Hope initiative led by Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez to foster growth in the spirit of Missionary Discipleship.

“The Church’s door has always been open,” said Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez. “Trust & Hope makes our local Church face outward to all. It invites people to come closer and look inside. Hallow helps them encounter God in the quiet of their own hearts.”

Through this partnership, the five regional Missionary Hubs — along with an additional parish community — will incorporate Hallow into their existing evangelization and outreach efforts through:

• Guided prayer experiences
• Small group and faith-sharing opportunities
• Seasonal Advent and Lent reflections
• Digital resources to help individuals and families grow closer to God
• Free Hallow accounts for clergy, seminarians, and religious brothers and sisters.
Additionally, all parishes and schools in the Archdiocese get access to a 10% diocesan level discount for any parishes or schools who wish to purchase a Hallow Parish Partnership Package.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, “the Little Flower,” profoundly understood the gentle and humble heart of Jesus. In contemplating how to be transformed by Christ's love, she reflected that “What pleases [Jesus] is that he sees me loving my littleness and my poverty, the blind hope that I have in his mercy… the weaker one is, without desires or virtues, the more suited one is for the workings of this consuming and transforming Love” (Letter 197 to Sister Marie of the Sacred Heart, September 17, 1896). Let us join with Saint Thérèse in praying for our hearts to be humble like Jesus.
