Compline Services - St. Cecilia
First Sundays at 8pm in Conger Hall
Compline, or Night Prayer, is the last of the Church's daily prayers in the Liturgy of the Hours, prayed by Christians around the world for centuries. In quiet candlelight, we pause to look back over the day, offer it to God, and pray the Psalms, a short Scripture reading, and Simeon's beautiful canticle, "Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace." Just come as you are and rest in God's presence. The service of Compline is offered at 8:00pm on the First Sunday of the month from October to June led by our Men's Compline Choir. If you are interested in joining the choir, please contact Emily Skranak.
