The Catechism of the Catholic Church states:

The Liturgy of the Hours, which is the public and common prayer of the Church, is the prayer of Christ with his body, the Church. Through the Liturgy of the Hours the mystery of Christ, which we celebrate in the Eucharist, sanctifies and transforms the whole of each day. It is composed mainly of psalms, other biblical texts, and readings from the Fathers and spiritual masters.

The Liturgy of the Hours Morning Prayer is recited at St. Aloysius Catholic Church in the Sacred Heart Chapel at 8:30 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Whether you are brand new to the practice or are experienced, come & share in this beautiful prayer tradition with your Catholic family. All are welcome!
