Praying College Moms is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) religious organization that provides outreach and resources to mothers of college-aged children. The Praying College Moms local groups provide invaluable service in their faith communities, such as mentorship, encouragement, perspective, resources and networking with others who are going through the same experiences. In addition to our Bible study and prayer groups, we have socials and activities to deepen our friendships so our members can join together for a strength of purpose. Join us in our prayer for our college students: "They are our future and they need our united prayers that God will strengthen them and give them the grace to stand for all that is good and true on campus."

We pray for our children who are on a new journey in their lives--may they be safe and successful, living their lives with dignity and honor, being true to the values taught by their families and having the courage to share their trust in God with all those they encounter.

The Praying College Moms are excited to offer two $750 scholarships to graduating high school seniors. These scholarships are for young Catholic men and women who reflect our faith and have lived it exceptionally. The application is available in the link below. 

The completed application and letters of recommendation are to be returned to asalexander046@gmail.com by the deadline of July 15, 2023.

THE HOLY 14 SAINTS TO PRAY TO FOR PROTECTION FROM COVID-19:  The collect for their feast in the Missal of Bamberg reads: “Almighty and merciful God, who didst adorn Thy Saints George, Blase, Erasmus, Pantaleon, Vitus, Christopher, Denis, Cyriacus, Acacius, Eustace, Giles, Margaret, Barbara and Catherine with special privileges above all others, so that all who in their necessities implore their help, according to the grace of Thy promise, may attain the salutary effect of their pleading, grant to us, we beseech Thee, forgiveness of our sins, and with their merits interceding, deliver us from all adversities, and kindly hear our prayers.” For details on each of the fourteen Saints, click here: 14 Saints to Pray to for Protection from COVID-19

Frances Chamberlin, OCDS, Seminar on Divine Trust

The WINGS, a Women’s prayer group from a parish in California, requested PCM’s Frances Chamberlin to give the PCM Zoom Seminar on ‘Divine Trust’ with a Lenten theme.  On March 25, 2021, thirty-five women of all ages participated in the seminar with Frances.  Following Frances’ talk, there were group break-out sessions with questions.  One question that provoked much lively conversation was “God has given us all thorns in our lives. Why don’t we let God just take care of them?”  Frances’ seminar was warmly received.
