The Hallow team works to ensure Hallow always stays 100% authentically catholic & aligned with the Church.

The goal of our partnership is to help people encounter the Jesus, form robust personalized daily habits of prayer, and help the formation of small Christian communities who pray together -- where people are praying for each other and with each other. Through these prayers we are fueling the mission of the parish - fueling the hopes for the parish

STORY OF THE HALLOW APP

The Hallow app was created in 2018 by Alex Jones. Read more about his story HERE.

Alex Jones: "I grew up Catholic, but fell away from my faith. I became fascinated with secular meditation, but always felt like something was missing – like I was being pulled towards something deeper.

I started asking everyone I knew if there was any sort of intersection between meditation and faith, and what I found changed my life…

The Holy Spirit quickly pulled together our amazing team and we began learning about the Church’s beautiful tradition of prayer & meditation. Not just what we all knew from grade school, but deep and transformative contemplative and meditative prayer techniques.So we quit our jobs and began building Hallow. We launched the app at the end of 2018, and have just been working to make it better ever since."
