The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (PWPN) is an official Pontifical work, entrusted to the Jesuits (Society of Jesus). Its International Directorate is in the Vatican City State, and each country where it operates has a National Director or Coordinator. Fr Frederic Fronos SJ, the International Director of PWPN (Vatican Office) has entrusted the Society of Jesus of Malaysia-Singapore (MAS) to look into these three nations (Malaysia-Singapore-Brunei) as its regional Prayer Network focus.
Conversation Hour is part of the Malaysian PWPN initiative derived from the Ignatian Spiritual Conversation model.
