Sunday Evening Vespers and Benediction

September 28, 2020 by Fr. Patrick Gallagher

The Liturgy of the Hours also known as the “Divine Office” is, following the Mass, the most important prayer of the Church. Priests, deacons and religious are bound to pray it every day, but the Laity are also highly encouraged to unite their voices and intentions to those of the whole Church in this prayer.  The Liturgy of the Hours is prayed continually by Catholics throughout the world.  At any given time someone will be praying this beautiful prayer which purpose is to sanctify the day and the whole range of human activity. Morning Prayer (Lauds) and Evening Prayer (Vespers), the two main hours, are accorded the highest importance. Before the Second Vatican Council it was not unusual to see many parishes celebrating Sunday Vespers; and while, in our diocese, it has fallen out of normal parish life, the Vatican II document Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy,  is very intentional in calling us to pray with and for the Church in this way.  In fact, it states: “Pastors of souls should see to it that the chief hours, especially Vespers, are celebrated in common in church on Sundays and the more solemn feasts…” (100) In following this call of the Church  we  celebrate Vespers with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament every Sunday. We  celebrate Solemn Vespers on the Sundays of Advent and Lent and when announced.

Welcome to Holy Rosary

Glory to Jesus Christ!

It is with great pleasure that I say, “Welcome to Holy Rosary!” I hope you will find our parish a “home” for you to grow spiritually and to experience the Lord in and through this community of faith. Whether you’re just visiting us for a brief time, looking for a new parish home, are returning to the practice of your Catholic faith or are interested in finding out more about the Catholic Church, we’re happy to have you here.

A parish is a community of believers and a spiritual family  that is supportive and loving. It can be a place to grow spiritually, to put your faith in action, and to use our gifts of time and talent as disciples of Christ.

We look forward to answering any questions you may have.  Please know that you can connect with us on Facebook or contact us by phone or email.  You are always welcome to join us for Mass or for many of the events in our calendar.  We look forward to connecting with you here and hopefully seeing you in the life of the parish and school.

In Christ,
Fr. Patrick Gallagher
