Why Join the Father Peyton Prayer Guild?
In 1942, a newly ordained Father Patrick Peyton knelt before the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Albany, New York. There, he made a bold plea to Our Mother: 10 million Rosary homes for the glory of God and for peace in a turbulent world. He knew that when a family prays together, they invite a grace that transforms the home.
Now, his mission is our mission. We believe, as our Founder did, that the path to global peace begins around the dinner table. The Father Peyton Prayer Guild is the spiritual bond that unites the faithful across the world. While we honor diversity of cultures and languages, our true strength is our unity in the Body of Christ.
Father Peyton famously taught us that “the family that prays together stays together.” He understood that the Rosary builds a supernatural shield around the home, one that the modern world cannot break. By strengthening the family, we strengthen society. As we join our voices, we fulfill the ultimate promise of the Blessed Virgin, in Venerable Patrick Peyton’s words: “A world at prayer is a world at peace.”
Join the Father Peyton Prayer Guild today. Secure the peace of your own home and help us bring the peace of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to the entire world.
