The Seven Sisters Apostolate

November 12, 2026
Ongoing Invitation to Join!
St. Michael Parish

The Seven Sisters Apostolate, founded in St. Paul, MN, ten years ago, is called to strengthen the Church by ensuring that a Holy Hour is prayed each day of the week for the sole intention of a specific priest – a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ. A Seven Sisters group begins when at least seven women respond to a call to the mission of the apostolate. This generous commitment of one hour per week of prayer is asked for a period of one year, but can remain open-ended in time as each individual discerns her call to continue.
