Living a hidden vocation through the little way for the sanctification of the priests and vocations.

Spiritual Motherhood for Priests

Spiritual motherhood is a vocation within a vocation. It is a calling for women to assist priests in their vocation and pastoral ministry through prayer, sacrifice, and spiritual support. This apostolate is open to single, married, widowed, or consecrated religious women who are in full communion with the Church.

Our Lady of Kibeho emphasized the need for fervent prayer for the Church and priests. She warned of the challenges facing the Church and called for unceasing prayer to safeguard its spiritual health. Pope Benedict XVI also encouraged the formation of apostolates dedicated to praying for the sanctification of priests.

Through this apostolate, spiritual mothers anonymously adopt a priest, committing to pray for him throughout their lives. The priest remains unaware of his spiritual mother until they meet in heaven.

Prayer Groups for Priests

Therese and Vianney Cenacles are groups of men and women who come together to pray for priests and vocations. Inspired by St. Therese and St. John Vianney, the patron saints of priests, these cenacles provide a powerful support system for priests and spiritual mothers.

These cenacles are open to all who feel called to pray for priests. They meet regularly for Eucharistic Adoration, the Rosary, and other devotions. By joining a cenacle, you can contribute to the spiritual strength of the Church and its clergy.
