WHAT IS HALLOW
Hallow is a Catholic prayer app that offers audio-guided meditation sessions to help us grow in our faith & spiritual lives and find peace in God. Explore over 6,000 different sessions on contemplative prayer, meditation, Catholic Bible readings, music, and more.
As Hallow is a Catholic App (#1 among Catholic Apps), the content is developed by experienced Catholic theology and spirituality guides and reviewed by senior leaders within the Church (e.g., PhD's, professors, Bishops, authors) and based on content from the approved Catholic Bible. We were also featured on EWTN.
In today's world, we're stressed, anxious, distracted, & can't sleep. At the same time, we're searching for deeper meaning, purpose, & relationships. We believe these two challenges can be addressed with the same solution: the peace of Jesus Christ. In the end, after all, Heaven is the goal.
WHAT YOU GET
- Daily prayers: Pray daily across methods including 3 of our most popular - Lectio Divina (on the Daily Readings), the Rosary, & the Divine Mercy Chaplet
