Janette Howe

Janette Howe is founder of the Seven Sisters Apostolate – a Seven Sisters group is seven women who each pray a weekly holy hour for a particular priest. Their goal is for every priest and bishop to have a group covering them with prayers. To learn more about the Seven Sisters Apostolate, contact diocesan coordinator Rhonda Litt at 402-525-6396 (text or call), or visit sevensistersapostolate.org.

Howe and her husband Jeff, married 39 years, have two adult children: a married daughter Kelsa, who works at the Institute of Priestly Formation in Omaha, and a priest son, Father Spencer, ordained in 2013 for the Archdiocese of St Paul-Minneapolis.

Howe is a registered nurse and holds a master’s degree in theological studies from Ave Maria University. She has initiated two apostolates: Truth Himself, founded in the 2004-05 Year of the Eucharist, which aims to cultivate knowledge, love and service of the Eucharistic Lord; and the Seven Sisters Apostolate, fostering prayer for priests in the form of offering holy hours.
