Prayer Initiative for Catholic Education

Would you be willing to pray for Catholic education?

Our Catholic schools and religious education programs have the beautiful mission of helping children and young people encounter Jesus Christ, grow in their Catholic faith, and become missionary disciples. This mission is important—and it needs our prayers. Bishop Chylinski is inviting people throughout the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to join a new prayer initiative: The St. John Neumann Prayer Guild for Catholic Education.

You do not need to be an educator. You do not need to have children in a Catholic school, though parents are highly encouraged to join.  You simply need a desire to pray for our young people and for the Church’s mission of Catholic education. The commitment is simple: pray the St. John Neumann Prayer Guild for Catholic Education Daily Prayer each day, and remember Catholic education in your daily prayers.

We are hoping to build an army of intercessors—parents and grandparents, parishioners, alumni, religious, educators, retirees, young adults, and anyone who believes in the importance of passing on the Catholic faith to the next generation. As St. Augustine reminds us, “The prayer of the humble person is the key of heaven.” Imagine the spiritual impact if hundreds or even thousands of people throughout the Archdiocese committed themselves to praying each day for our Catholic schools and religious education programs.

To become a member of the Guild, simply register your name and email address here.

Anyone who is willing to pray is welcome. The more people who join us in prayer, the greater the spiritual family surrounding our children, young people, families, and educators. Let us entrust Catholic education to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and ask, through the intercession of St. John Neumann and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, that the Lord make our efforts fruitful in forming a new generation of faithful and missionary disciples.

Thank you for joining Bishop Chylinski in this important work of prayer!
