Daily Prayer

At the heart of daily Christian devotion is the communal practice of praying together every day.  At the Cathedral we follow the Anglican/Episcopal tradition of the Daily Office, which consists of Morning and Evening Prayer, with occasional use of Noonday Prayer and Compline (bedtime prayer).  This has been adapted from centuries old monastic practice and is well suited to personal and small group use here at the Cathedral.  During the course of Daily prayer, we systematically include the entire bible in our worship and pray the psalms together.  We also commemorate some of the luminaries and heroes of the Christian Faith together with the rest of the Church as we keep the Church Calendar.
