Divine Offices & Prayers
You are very welcome to pray and worship with us!
God always takes precedence! Divine offices with celebration of the Eucharist and the liturgy of the hours constitute the fundamental pillars of the Benedictine day. Thus, we commemorate God’s saving acts for his people and celebrate the mysteries of our faith.
