OUR VISION As the Apostle of Family Prayer, Venerable Patrick Peyton is on the path to sainthood. He built his ministry for the long-term, envisioning and praying for the team that follows him not to equal his work but to surpass it in quantity and quality. Now is the blessed moment and opportunity to make Father Peyton's vision a reality, meet today's families pressing needs, and honor our extraordinary founder. Together, through We Prayed! A Campaign for Family Prayer, we will create a beacon of hope for future generations, the Church, and our world. 

 

YOUR LEADERSHIP Inspired by the life and works of Father Peyton and the lasting impact of prayer, we will transform The Father Peyton Center in North Easton, MA. Our ministry's headquarters just south of Boston shares a campus with Holy Cross Retreat Center and Stonehill College, affiliated with the Congregation of Holy Cross. Here we will create a sacred, engaging, destination for family prayer and spiritual renewal. The new Center will serve families and pilgrims from around the world and will be a dignified resting place for Father Peyton.

WE PRAYED! A CAMPAIGN FOR FAMILY PRAYER

In 1948, with a disposition of gratitude to the Blessed Mother for his miraculous healing, Father Patrick Peyton C.S.C., committed his priestly vocation to inspiring families to pray the Rosary with the launch of his Crusade for Family Prayer. Writing over 4,000 letters to Bishops, Priests, and laity asking for their prayers and support, Father Peyton declared that “If enough families pray the Rosary, we can save the world.”

Now 75 years later, we are launching We Prayed! A Campaign for Family Prayer, a continuation of Father Peyton’s campaign for family prayer with refreshed eyes and a renewed spirit. This capital campaign will transform The Father Peyton Center in North Easton, MA into a dignified resting place for Venerable Patrick Peyton and a prayer destination for families. A beautiful Lourdes Grotto and Rosary Garden are among the re-imagined Father Peyton Center.
