• Hallow: The #1 Catholic app for prayer, meditation, music, and sleep
• "My Journey From Atheist to Maybe a Christian Pt. 1" — "...my faith journey has been one of re-discovery. The first step for me in this re-discovery was mostly intellectual: the cracking open of the door to the possibility that this whole Christianity thing might not all be nonsense."
• "My Journey From Atheist to Maybe a Christian Pt. 2" — This post is a continuation of the discussion that began in an earlier blog post about my journey toward becoming a Christian. It picks up where the first left off.
• The 9 Books That Helped Make Me a Christian — I’ve broken these 9 books across 3 phases of my faith journey so far: discovering my faith, diving deeper, and learning to live it out. I am very much still in the midst of each of these steps, so if you have any recommendations please send them my way by commenting below or emailing me at alex@hallow.com.
• "Why We Made Hallow a Public-Benefit Corp" — No model is perfect, and the Public Benefit-Corp doesn’t solve all of our concerns. But after a lot of prayer and discussions with both start-up and spiritual advisors, we decided it was the best structure for Hallow. It gives us the best ability to build a world-class team and product, achieve our mission of helping the world to pray, and assure that growing profitably never comes ahead of our mission.

• J. J. Wright Music — Homepage of J. J. Wright
• Vespers for the Immaculate Conception — Produced by the Grammy-award winning and Billboard Chart topping composer, musician and choir director at the University of Notre Dame, J.J. Wright, this album is a unique, beautiful recording that brings audiences a new vision of sacred music by fusing the rich heritage of Catholic sacred music with the tradition of jazz. It is a concertized vespers service that tells the story of the miraculous origin of Mary. The music takes the listener on a spiritual journey through ancient prayers and psalms that strengthen our relationship with Mary, Mother of God.
• Notre Dame Magazine: Having Coffee with J. J. Wright — "Class assignments trigger student anxiety all across campus every day, no story there, but what happened to pianist J.J. Wright during his first semester at Notre Dame was more like existential anguish. "Asking her sacred music students to create prayer services within particular musical traditions, Professor Margot Fassler had urged Wright, then a new graduate student, to compose a jazz setting for evening prayer, known by tradition as vespers."
• Notre Dame Folk Choir YouTube Channel — The Notre Dame Folk Choir is made up of sixty vocalists and musicians from all levels and disciplines at the university. Our ensemble serves the Notre Dame community as one of its principal liturgical choirs, primarily singing at the 11:45 Mass at the Basilica each Sunday.
