1 August 20, 2017 Praying College Moms Are you one of the millions of American families with kids going away to college this year? We ve found resources for families like yours to support you in suppor ng your child during college. -Fr. John Williamson This website offers a place for moms to share what they are praying for and how and offers support and advice as needed. Every college age student s experience takes them to new levels of ques ons and maturity. Some mes college-age students don t want help naviga ng these challenges, but moms know their kids s ll need the basics: love and understanding! Talking through one student s darkness and another student s light, the group s focus is on hope, op mism and care. These moms feast on prayer and fast from worry and help each other along the way. Featured on the site are podcasts with author Maribeth Harper of And So We Pray, another great resource for parents traveling the college road with kids (it s free on Kindle). Homesickness, college da ng, and changing family dynamics are just some of the issues tackled. Con nued Humbled by God s mercy, we seek to follow Christ and live the joy of the Gospel through love and service. Mission Statement
