Students Gather for Prayer Partner Prayer Service

Yesterday, the Villa community gathered in Chapel for a very special tradition at Villa – the Prayer Partner Prayer Service. Each year, Villa holds a Prayer Service in Sacred Heart Chapel where students choose the name of another student to be their prayer partner. The program provides older students the opportunity to gain responsibility while keeping them connected to the younger grades. It also provides the younger students the opportunity to develop a special relationship with an older student who can serve as a role model and friend. “It gives us an opportunity to bond with the younger girls and learn more about them,” says Vanessa L., 8th grader. Throughout the year, prayer partners pray for each other and get together for various activities including reading, community service projects, and celebrating sacraments and holidays.
