Hallow Summit 2022

Have you ever attended a retreat and felt a "spiritual high" only to feel a "crash" afterwards? Hallow Summit is an invitation to understand how we can build up our habits in prayer that sustain our relationship with Christ even after the retreat and help to pray through moments of spiritual desolation when they arise.

We'll talk about how to go deeper in prayer and also understand how our habits fuel our spiritual lives. We have some amazing speakers, time for the sacraments, the chance to meet members of Hallow's founding team, as well as a unique global fellowship opportunity.

After coming to the Summit, you'll be invited to join our global community of Hallow users known as Hallow Heralds. This community provides a space to continue to engage in the topics brought up on the retreat months after the Summit has conclcuded.

The Vigil Project: In their words "Following the Liturgical calendar, we write, record, and release music that invites Catholics into a deeper experience of prayer with the Church. The palpable difference between our music and that of other Christian artists is the sacramental lens through which we approach our Faith and our art. We desire to create music that will serve you in your walk with Christ on this Catholic journey"
