During the Fridays of Advent (Dec. 8, 15, and 22) we will be celebrating the “Rorate Mass,” at 7:00 am. This is a Mass in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary and is traditionally celebrated in candlelight just before dawn. The name comes from the opening words of the Entrance Antiphon, “Rorate caeli desuper,” Latin for “Drop down dew, ye heavens.” (Isaiah 45:8).

The Mass is 30 minutes and will be followed by a simple breakfast in the large hall.
