Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head, as he sat at table. But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? “For this ointment might have been sold for a large sum, and given to the poor.” But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me. In pouring this ointment on my body she has done it to prepare me for burial. Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.” Gospel of Matthew 26: 6-13 

The mission of the Seven Sisters Apostolate is committed to prayerful support by women of the parish for their pastor through  the assurance of the offering of at least one Holy Hour every day of every week for that pastor alone – a ‘holy wasting’, as it were, for the conversion and holiness of that particular priest.
