CHICAGO, Dec. 16, 2024 -The Dicastery for Evangelization, Section for Fundamental Questions regarding Evangelization in the World, responsible for organizing the 2025 Ordinary Jubilee, has partnered with Hallow, a global Catholic prayer and meditation app.
Hallow – currently the most downloaded prayer app in the world – offers its users guided prayers, meditations, Lectio Divina, and daily reflections on the Gospel and Sacred Scriptures, as well as audiobooks, catechesis, and various genres of Christian music. Additional features include community “prayer challenges” and the opportunity to pray for one another through “prayer campaigns” and virtual “parish groups”.
For the Jubilee, Hallow has made its channels available to the Dicastery for Evangelization to promote the message of Hope that the Holy Year aims to convey to pilgrims worldwide. The Hallow team will create tailored content in the main languages of the Jubilee pilgrims to prepare and spiritually support the faithful, whether they visit Rome in person or participate in the Jubilee remotely from their own homes.
The content, produced in audio and video formats, will be accessible by smartphone through the app and online through their website. Hallow will also contribute to the spiritual accompaniment of the Jubilee in person, supporting the organization of Jubilee events and involving various testimonies and Catholic personalities who have been collaborating on app content for years.
“We are grateful to Hallow’s founders for their willingness to serve the Church during this Holy Year, promoting the message and outreach of the Jubilee and creating content to accompany pilgrims daily in prayer,” affirmed His Excellency Archbishop Rino Fisichella, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization.
“We’re incredibly thrilled to partner with the Vatican Dicastery for Evangelization on this amazing work and couldn’t be more excited to invite everyone attending the Jubilee into a deeper life of prayer,” said Alex Jones, Hallow CEO and Co-Founder
