Vespers for Michaelmas

Ss. Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel

In Catholic tradition September 29ths is regarded as the Feast of the Archangels or Michaelmas in more Anglophonic cultures. For more information about the history and significance of the feast please read this article from Catholic Culture: Ordinary Time, September 29th. To learn more about the three Archangels please read Proper Names of the Angels

To honor this good tradition, once again YACs will gather, this time at St. Thomas More, to celebrate Vespers communally at 7pm. Please plan to join us!

Evening Prayer I / Matins in vigil for the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist

We're praying Vespers and Matins in vigil for the Solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist. This Vespers and Matins in Vigil service is open to the greater Catholic community of Columbia as a gift from YACs -- St. John the Baptist is the Patron Saint of our diocese as well as an important figure in our salvation history.

I hope you all can attend and join us at St. Peter's Catholic Church Wednesday June 23 at 7pm (we start promptly at 7pm, please arrive before then) as we pray the universal prayer of the church. Children are welcome.

You can preview the liturgical aid here - though keep in mind it's formatted for booklet printing.
