Our story
A small idea: pray together
Western Prayers began with a simple hope: that people across the world might stop, at the same hour, and pray the same words.
Why we began
The prayer that unites us
When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, He gave them the Our Father. Two thousand years later, it remains the prayer nearly every Christian knows by heart.
Western Prayers is an independent, Catholic-inspired effort to gather people around that prayer at a single shared hour: Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern, the hour of mercy.
We hope this little site becomes a place of quiet in a noisy week, a reminder that you are never praying alone.
