Hallow Partnership:

Join us this Lent!

Join your faith family on HALLOW, the #1 prayer app in the world!

Hallow is excited to announce the theme for the Lent 2026 #Pray40 Challenge: The Return. This Lent, we invite you to embark on a journey of repentance and renewal—returning to the heart of the Father, just like the Prodigal Son. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026, join millions around the world in this 40-day, app-based challenge centered on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.


Throughout the season, you’ll be guided by powerful daily audio meditations (5–60 minutes) featuring voices such as Fr. Mike Schmitz, Sr. Miriam James Heidland, Jonathan Roumie, Mark Wahlberg, and Chris Pratt. The challenge also draws inspiration from profound spiritual works including The Brothers Karamazov and Fr. Henri Nouwen’s The Return of the Prodigal Son, alongside special music playlists and practical fasting challenges to deepen your Lenten journey.


Join us as we walk together toward Easter Sunday on April 5, 2026—returning home to God and rediscovering a life of active love.


And, remember, Corpus Christi is partnering with Hallow for the next 2 years for the spiritual benefit of our parishioners! 


Through prayer and meditation rooted in the Catholic faith, Hallow helps people grow closer to God and find peace. Users are able to pray alongside Fr. Mike, Sr. Miriam, Mark Wahlberg, Jonathan Roumie, + many more. The app also offers mental health and sleep content, audiobooks, and sacred music.


There are 2 versions of Hallow--free  and premium. All parishioners are invited to be a part of Corpus Christi's church page in the app, regardless of whether they pay for premium content or not. On our church page, you’ll be able to create a profile, share prayer requests, communicate with other parishioners, and take part in prayer challenges with your faith family.

FOR NEW AND CURRENT HALLOW APP USERS


  1. If you are brand new to Hallow, begin by downloading the Hallow app from your smart phone app store. The logo is a solid white circle with a halo inside a purple square.
  2. If you are a current Hallow user, but are not a member of our Church page, proceed to step 5.
  3. If you are a current Hallow user with a premium subscription and you are a member of our Church page, proceed to step 9 to redeem the 50% parishioner discount.
  4. Open the Hallow app and choose a method to sign up/create an account. We recommend using your cell phone number, as you will not need to create/remember a password.
  5. Follow the prompts to set up your account (you will be asked for details such as your name and birth date).
  6. If you are ordered a 30-day free trial followed by a $69.99 annual subscription charge, decline it by clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner.
  7. Once you have completed the sign up process, you will be a free Hallow user. If you wish to take advantage of the parish’s 50% discount, you can do so later in step 7.
  8. You do not need to pay for a subscription, discounted or otherwise, to use the app or participate in any parish-wide challenges. There is content on Hallow available for free, and any challenges we do as a parish are available to all parishioners on our Church page.
  9. As a free user, you will be able to see what type of content is considered premium, and you can always avail yourself of our discount at a later time.
  10. Sign up as a parishioner on our Church page. In the app, there are tabs along the bottom titled Home, Bible, Discover, Church, & Me. Click on Church.
  11. Find our page by typing in our zip code, 92656, and selecting Corpus Christi from the list of churches. Click Join, and wait for a page administrator to approve your request.
  12. Please contact Alyssa Eugenio at alyssaeugenio@avcatholics.org or 949/297-8500 if your request is not approved within 48 hours.
  13. If a Join button does not appear, and you instead get a page with the parish’s details and a section that says ✔Member, this means that you already requested to join the page. Your request might still be unapproved, but it is likelier that the app has not been refreshed since your request was approved. Try shutting down the app completely and reopening it. Revisit the Church tab, and if it has not changed to allow you into the parish page, please contact Alyssa for assistance.
  14. Once an administrator approves your request, visit the Church tab again within the app. The top of the page should say our parish name, Corpus Christi Catholic Church. If you do not wish to pay for a subscription, you are all set and ready to start praying in Hallow!
  15. If you would like to redeem the 50% parishioner subscription discount, beneath the parish name at the top of the page are a series of grey buttons such as “Invite,” “Small Groups,” and a purple button, “Claim Subscription.” Click that purple button and follow the prompts.
  16. If you currently have a Hallow premium subscription, you will need to cancel your subscription and wait for it to lapse before redeeming the 50% discount.
  17. To cancel your subscription, visit https://help.hallow.com/en/articles/2795868-how-do-icancel-my-subscription-or-free-trial.
  18. Once your subscription lapses, you will be able to see the purple button on our Church page that says Claim Subscription. Click that button to redeem the 50% parishioner discount and follow the prompts.


If you require more assistance, please contact Alyssa Eugenio at 949/297-8500 or alyssaeugenio@avcatholics.org, Sundays 9am-2pm (lunch 11:45am-12:15pm), or Monday-Thursday, 9am-5pm (lunch 1-1:30pm). You may also stop by the Parish Office during the above timeframes.
