Join the 2026 Lent Pray40 Challenge — “The Return”This Lent, our Parish family is joining Hallow’s Pray40: The Return—a 40‑day journey of daily prayer, Scripture, and reflection that leads us home to the Father. Start on Ash Wednesday, February 18, and pray with our community (and millions worldwide) one day at a time.
What is Pray40?
Pray40 is Hallow’s annual Lent prayer challenge. This year, we’ll enter the Parable of the Prodigal Son through daily audio meditations (5–60 minutes), guided by voices you know and love—Jonathan Roumie, Fr. Mike Schmitz, Sr. Miriam James, Mother Olga, Mark Wahlberg, Chris Pratt, and more. We’ll also draw from Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov and Fr. Henri Nouwen’s The Return of the Prodigal Son to rediscover God’s mercy and the joy of returning home.
How to join (2-minute setup):- Download Hallow on iOS or Android and create a free account.
- Tap the Church tab and search for “Holy Family of Nazareth – Irving, TX.” Join our Parish page.
- Tap Pray40: The Return and press Join Challenge.
