Morning Prayer
Everyday Starting at 08:30 am
Since most of our churches celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday, there are many parishioners who have had little or no experience with Morning Prayer. This is unfortunate since these Offices are a real treasure. Therefore, it is hoped that all Anglicans will make them a central part of their daily devotions
Evening Prayer
Everyday Starting at 5 pm

Sunday Mass
Sundays Starting at 10 am
Mass is in Anglo-catholic parishes, to describe a celebration of the eucharist characterized by multiple ministers (a priest- or bishop-celebrant, deacon, “subdeacon,” acolytes, choir, and possibly others) and a rich ceremonial (incense, candles, processions, stylized movements and gestures), and a preference for singing rather than saying the various texts of the eucharist. A eucharist in which the celebrant is assisted by a deacon and a layperson serving as a liturgical subdeacon. The contrasting low mass is characterized by its requirements of a single minister (a priest-celebrant) and a strictly restrained ceremonial. The high mass was recognized as the eucharistic norm in the Roman rites of the middle ages, although the low mass was by far the more common celebration. The eucharistic rite in the 1549 BCP drew on a style similar to the normative high mass. But the 1552 BCP, alert to popular sensibilities favoring the more familiar low mass, used that style as the basis for its communion service. Subsequent Prayer Books followed the pattern of the 1552 BCP, which presupposed the priest-celebrant as the single liturgical leader at the eucharist. Which we use the 1928 BCP that is as elegant as the 1552 but a more modern language.
