Announcing
The Stabat Mater Prayer Apostolate (SMPA) emerged in 2008 after several years of prayerful conversation among friends in Dallas, Texas. Our hope is to effect cultural change by praying for the very creators of contemporary works of art.
On this Web site you will find an explanation of the mission and goals of the Apostolate. If you would like to join us, or would like to know more about future plans, please e-mail or call us (see below).
We want to know the needs of any artist, in any art form, so as to pray for graces for them and their families, imploring the Holy Spirit to touch their lives. Anyone can send prayer requests and they will be forwarded to the prayer chain. In the future, prayer requests can also be made directly at the Web site, www.stabatmater.org.
In His Service Through the Arts,
