Power of Family Prayer
There is always someone in need of prayer. Seeking heavenly guidance and assistance through intercessory prayer, especially when you feel most helpless, is a tremendous gift that our Catholic faith offers. Intercessory prayer fortifies our prayers when we pray with those whom the Church declares to be in heaven — venerables, blessed, and saints.
What an excellent way for you and your family to start the New Year: by inviting Venerable Patrick Peyton and Our Blessed Mother to join you in prayer for your needs and concerns.

When Father Peyton encouraged the world with his message, “The Family That Prays Together Stays Together,” he was committed and passionate about the hope behind it! He was certain that praying together, especially the Rosary, would make a tremendous difference in our hearts and our homes.
Families are facing so many challenges; we need family prayer more than ever. We must never lose hope in intercessory prayer and in believing that miracles still happen.
Will you and your family consider praying with us?
Nine days we believe will have a lasting impact on your home.

It will help calm your anxieties, draw you closer to your family, and fill you with confidence and peace, reminding you that God has everything under control.
The Rosary Priest
Father Peyton was the founder of our ministry and is now a candidate for sainthood. Today, Father Peyton's messages, "The Family That Prays Together Stays Together" and "A World at Prayer is a World at Peace," are still well-known around the world. His Cause for Sainthood was officially opened in 2001, and he is currently named Venerable. With your prayers—and God willing—he will one day be recognized as a Saint for Family Prayer.
