Join Hallow-CMA Surrender Novena for the AEC

August 10, 2025

The Catholic Medical Association has teamed up with Hallow, the blockbuster Catholic prayer app, to offer a Surrender Novena for the 94th Annual Educational Conference (AEC). The novena will be voiced by Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen. The novena begins on August 29th on the Hallow App.

The goal of the AEC, which is themed Tradition: Ever Ancient, Ever New, is to recapture some of the ways medicine had been practiced in earlier times with its focus on the individual and a greater reliance on the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Presentations will examine different models for practicing medicine, educating medical students and caring for dying patients. Human flourishing and the timely topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and medicine will also be covered. The conference is September 4-6, 2025, in Kansas City and will include an End of Life and Natural Family Planning Forum the day prior to the start of the conference, September 3, 2025. This novena will be a wonderful way to prepare for the conference and pray for all medical professionals, especially those striving to practice Catholic medicine.
