Hallow Parish Week: "Rebuild My Church" Prayer Challenge

Over 800 years ago, St. Francis of Assisi knelt in a crumbling chapel and heard Jesus say, "Rebuild My Church."

In this 800th anniversary year of his passing into eternal life, St. Francis de Sales invites our entire community to unite in prayer for Hallow Parish Week. Starting October 5, 2026, our parish is joining hundreds of Catholic parishes across the country for the 7-day "Rebuild My Church" challenge on the Hallow app!

Discover How Jesus Rebuilds His Church

These seven days invite us to reflect on how Jesus transforms the world—not through massive programs or grand strategies, but through the ordinary, holy lives of everyday people.

Each day journeys through the inspiring story of a saint who answered that call in their own time and circumstance:

  • St. Francis of Assisi

  • Mother Teresa

  • Carlo Acutis

  • Elizabeth Ann Seton

  • Jan Tyranowski

  • Pier Giorgio Frassati

  • Anna Maria Taigi

An Invitation for Everyone

Join Fr. Christian Shiu as he guides our parish family through this shared week of reflection.

Whether you sit in the pews every Sunday or haven’t walked through the church doors in years, this challenge will help you discover that Jesus is still actively building His Church—and He invites each of us to become part of His story.
