Morning Prayer, one of the offices of the Liturgy of the Hours, is prayed on Tuesdays and Fridays at 7:30am in St. Anthony’s Chapel, following the 7am Mass. We gather to give praise for a new day and all that is yet to be, relying on the Holy Spirit who unites the Church at prayer. Feel free to join this small group. Prayer leaflets are provided each day.
On Tuesday, July 26, the Church celebrates the memorial of St. Joachim and St. Anne, the two people chosen to be the parents of the Virgin Mary. Images of these two saints are found in the Cathedral—take a moment and take a look!
