Pray.nd.edu has had approximately 100,000 hits since it launched in April 2007. And as of February 2008, hits averaged close to 800 every day.
According to Kathy Sullivan ’87MA, ’89PhD, senior director of Spirituality and Service at the Alumni Association, people of all ages and backgrounds--including current students--are visiting pray.nd.edu. “Some of them ask for prayers for others. Some of them use the site for meditation or prayer to focus their lives. Some of them simply want to keep the memory of their campus prayer life alive,” she says.
Pray.nd.edu is a sacred place for liturgical and Gospel readings, and inspirational thoughts and prayers, which are composed by Holy Cross priests. Visitors are encouraged to submit prayer requests, and every week, representatives from the Alumni Association light a special green candle at the Grotto on their behalf.
