STEUBENVILLE, OHIO—Franciscan University President Father Dave Pivonka, TOR, will lead tens of thousands of Catholics in prayer on the popular Hallow prayer app throughout the upcoming papal conclave.

Beginning May 6, the day before the conclave begins, Catholics from around the world can pray along with Father Pivonka as this historic event unfolds in the Sistine Chapel.

Father Pivonka will join Sirius XM host Katie Prejean McGrady twice per day on the Hallow app to help guide listeners through each day’s events.

McGrady will provide background and insight on the conclave and Father Pivonka will lead listeners in prayer, calling upon the Holy Spirit to guide the cardinal electors in their momentous decision.

The series will continue throughout the entirety of the conclave with updates before and after each day’s voting. The series will conclude on the day after the conclave selects a pope with a special prayer for the new pope.

As of May 2, more than 64,000 people have joined the waiting list to support the conclave in prayer on Hallow, the world’s number one prayer app. To join Father Pivonka and McGrady, click here.
