SUNDAY VESPERS “By the venerable tradition of the universal Church, Lauds as morning prayer and Vespers as evening prayer are the two hinges on which the daily office turns; hence they are to be considered as the chief hours and are to be celebrated as such.” (Vatican II, Sacrosanctum concilium, 89(a)) “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.” (ibid, 100) “In accordance with the centuries-old tradition of the Latin rite, the Latin language is to be retained by clerics in the divine office.” (ibid, 101, 1) All are welcome and encouraged to attend this Evening Prayer of the Church, sung in Latin at 5pm. Books are provided to help you follow and join in.
