Mission
The Seven Sisters Apostolate is a call 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 or bishop—a “holy wasting” (cf. Mt. 26:10) or lavishing of prayer for his deeper conformity to Christ.
“In strengthening the priest you strengthen the whole Church…
Strengthen the priest and you strengthen the whole foundation, you strengthen everything in the Church.”
— Fr. Gerald Fitzgerald, S.P.A Seven Sister:
One Holy Hour,
One Priest,
Each Week,
One Heart of Prayer

Structure
Seven women each make a commitment to make a holy hour for their priest, in a church or chapel, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament (exposed or in the Tabernacle), one day a week for a year. Every person has a set day of the week.

Prayer for Priests
-Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Mary, Mother of Jesus throw your mantle of purity over our priests. Protect them, guide them and keep them in your heart. Be a mother to them especially in times of discouragement and loneliness. Love them and let them belong completely to Jesus. Like Jesus, they too are your sons, so keep their hearts pure and virginal. Keep their minds filled with Jesus, and put Jesus always on their lips, so that He is the one they offer to sinners and to all they meet. Mary, Mother of Jesus, be their Mother, loving them and bringing them joy. Take special care of sick and dying priests and the ones most tempted. Remember how they spent their youth and old age, their entire lives serving and giving all to Jesus. Mary, bless them and keep a special place for them in your heart. Give them a piece of your heart, so beautiful and pure and immaculate, so full of love and humility so that they, too, may grow in the likeness of Christ. Dear Mary, make them humble like you and holy like Jesus. Amen.
