The Father Isaac T. Hecker Guild, an association of members and volunteers committed to support a coordinated effort to promote the cause for canonization of Servant
of God Father Isaac T. Hecker, founder of the Paulist Fathers.

The mission of the guild is: to foster daily prayer for the cause of Father Hecker's canonization; to provide opportunities for the story of Father Hecker's life, accomplishments, and sanctity to become more widely known; and to encourage prayer for favors and to keep a record of petitions and favors granted.

Members commit themselves to promote the cause of Father Hecker primarily by praying daily for Father Hecker's cause. Volunteers commit themselves to assist the Office for the Cause for Canonization of Father Isaac T. Hecker by implementing the mission of the Guild in their local community. Local chapters will sponsor periodic Masses for the intention of the cause of Father Hecker and other events to support his cause.

Membership in the guild is open to all. All are invited to learn more about the life, accomplishments, and sanctity of Father Hecker and to promote his canonization.

Prayer for Father Hecker's Cause
Heavenly Father, you called Isaac Hecker to preach the Gospel to the people of North America and to know the peace and the power of your indwelling Spirit. Like St. Paul the Apostle, he spoke your Word with a zeal for souls and a burning love for all who came to him in need. Hear our prayer through the intercession of Father Hecker, grant (state the request). We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit. One God, forever and ever. Amen.

Hecker Guild Monthly Masses
The New York Chapter of the Fr. Isaac T. Hecker Guild will sponsor a special Mass at St. Paul the Apostle Church for the intention of the cause of Fr. Hecker every month (except April).

Hecker Guild Masses will be celebrated on Feb. 16, March 8, May 17 and June 14 at 10 a.m.
