News and Events

Please consider joining us for a Holy Hour featuring Choral Vespers, Adoration, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.  Mass at 6:00 PM will immediately follow the Holy Hour.

What Is Vespers?
Vespers is the liturgy of evening prayer, one of the canonical hours of the Catholic Church. The word vesper translates to “evening” in Latin.

Our Vespers liturgy will be prayed in the context of a Holy Hour, which will include Adoration, chanted psalms and canticles, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Why Attend Vespers?
When we pray the Liturgy of the Hours, we are able to unite ourselves in prayer to Christ Himself. Attending and praying Vespers helps us to fulfill Jesus’ command to “pray always” (Luke 18:1). In a special way, evening prayer helps us to express gratitude for the day that has passed and makes an evening sacrifice of praise to God.

The Liturgy of the Hours is like an extension of the Eucharistic celebration. Our Vespers liturgy will provide you with an additional opportunity for prayer as part of your Lenten sacrifice.
