Night Prayer – Compline from the Liturgy of the Hours
The Office of the Night Prayer (Compline) is celebrated through the Church and forms part of the Liturgy of the Hours. The Liturgy of the Hours or Divine Office, enriched by readings, is principally a prayer of praise and petition. It is the prayer of the Church with Christ and to Christ.
We will be gathering from Monday to Friday at 8.00pm and prayer will last approximately 20/25 minutes.

Night Prayer on Zoom – How it Works
Night Prayer on Zoom is a virtual gathering of parishioners who come together nightly to pray The Compline of the Church, Night Prayer.
The format that is followed includes: a welcome individually, opening reflection, music, examine and quiet time, a short reading, petitions, and finishes with a hymn. During the service there is an opportunity for anyone to make a prayer request. It takes about 20 minutes, or longer if you want to chat afterwards! There’s a welcome for all.
You are free to join us regularly or occasionally, come and go as you please, be on camera or off camera, on your own or with others – There’s always a welcome for you.
