In a first of its kind initiative, Familheey has become a digital transformation (DT) partner of Holy Cross Family Ministries (HCFM). As DT Partner of Holy Cross Family Ministries, Familheey will create a digital platform of strategic collaboration for the 200+ HCFM team spread across 17 countries serving over a million families.
Holy Cross Family Ministries is a family of Catholic ministries that inspires, promotes, and fosters the prayer life and spiritual well-being of families throughout the world. Since its humble beginnings in the 1940s, HCFM has evolved into a respected and reliable catalyst for inspiration, support, and dynamic content on family life through a focus on spirituality and prayer, especially the Rosary. Central to HCFM’s success are the sayings of its iconic founder Father Patrick Peyton. Fr. Peyton popularized the phrases “The family that prays together stays together” and “A world at prayer is a world at peace”.
The Familheey partnership with HCFM comes at a pivotal time for the organization. Father Peyton’s life story from a struggling Irish immigrant to an American icon of prayer is told in the much-awaited film Pray: The Story of Patrick Peyton. Father Peyton dedicated his life to tell all the world about the power of prayer and encourages families everywhere to bring prayer into their homes.
Father Peyton convinced Hollywood’s biggest stars of the time to help him spread the message, “The family that prays together stays together,” through the power of mass media including radio, television, and film. Father Peyton’s fame spread around the world and audiences in the millions flocked to his public prayer rallies. This is the story of a tireless missionary, an unlikely hero, and one of history’s greatest advocates for family prayer. The film Pray is released on October 9, 2020, in theaters across the US.

Familheey looks forward to co-promoting Pray: The Story of Patrick Peyton on its community networking platform spanning 80+ countries. Speaking on this DT partnership, Ken Chinweze, Familheey Co-Founder thanked the HCFM leadership team: ” It is a true blessing learning my team’s experience working with Holy Cross Family Ministries. We express our sincere gratitude to you, Father Willy and Father Pinto for the opportunity. We believe the Familheey platform will accelerate the advancement of the Holy Cross Family Ministries mission in inspiring, promoting, and fostering the prayer life and spiritual well-being of families throughout the world.”
In alignment with its Connect-Engage-Grow community model, the Familheey team looks forward to the opportunity to serve the Holy Cross Family Ministry in building spaces for communities to stand together on a common digital platform. Familheey has a host of features that will enable Holy Cross Family to connect as one team, engage with its members, and grow its outreach programs with its global communities. As Father Willy quoted “Familheey is an all-in-one app combining today’s social media features in a systematic and user-friendly manner.”
