===== Online Vespers Throughout Advent

Posted on Nov 27, 2022 in Catechists, Devotions, Liturgy, Uncategorized |

Throughout Advent, give both God and yourself 15 minutes of peace and comfort with the Evening Prayer (Vespers) of the Liturgy of the Hours (LOTH). Deacon Chris will lead us in on-line LOTH evening prayer three nights a week – on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings at 7:30 PM. The prayers will take 15 minutes or less and will bring a sense of renewal and encouragement to you after a busy day. We gather on TEAMS here:
