OLD ST. PAT’S YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY
Vespers, the evening prayer of the Church, is a
part of the Church’s “Liturgy of the Hours.”
Christians throughout the world and throughout
the centuries celebrate the rhythm of each day
marking different “hours” with prayers of
thanksgiving, praise, and hope, and celebrating
the presence of God in our lives — in the simple
and profound moments of each day.
We’ve all Been Invited …
to join in the celebration of Vespers
Wednesday night, Oct. 14, 21, and 28
from 6:30 – 7 p.m. in the church hosted
by the young adults of Old St. Pat’s.
Reflective Music Starts at 6:15 p.m.
When evening approaches and
the day is already far spent,
evening prayer is celebrated
in order that
“we may give thanks for what has
been given us, or what we have done
well, during the day.”
We also recall the redemption
through the prayer we send up
“like incense in the Lord’s sight,”
and in which
“the raising up of our hands”
becomes “an evening sacrifice.”
~ from the General Instruction of the
Liturgy of the Hours
