Spiritual Moms

Several years ago, the Spiritual Mom Program was created to provide prayer support for the young men attending the summer program. This year, we are blessed to welcome 117 seminarians—and we need your prayers!

 

What is a Spiritual Mom?

A Spiritual mom is a woman who commits to intercessory prayer for seminarians attending the IPF Summer Program at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. This is a beautiful ministry of prayer, with no financial obligation - just supporting future priests through the power of prayer.

Two Ways to Serve

  • One-to-One Spiritual Mom: A Spiritual Mom is paired with a seminarian and commits to praying one Hail Mary daily for him throughout the six-week summer program. Attendance at Friends Night in July is highly encouraged to meet your seminarian in person.
  • Prayer Partner: Spiritual Moms from anywhere in the country, pray one Hail Mary daily for all seminarians in the program. While attending Friends Night is welcomed, it is not necessary.

One-to-One matches are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Once each seminarian has been paired with a Spiritual Mom, any additional volunteers will be invited to serve as Prayer Partners.

When is Friends Night this year?

IPF’s Friends Night celebration will be held on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. The evening will begin with an hour of Eucharistic Adoration at Christ the King Parish (654 S 86th St, Omaha), followed by a social gathering in the parish center. Our hope is that every seminarian meets the woman who has been praying for him.

 

Thank you for considering this special opportunity to support the seminarians of IPF through your prayers. Please feel free to share this invitation with other women who have a heart for intercessory prayer and may be interested in joining this powerful ministry.
