The ancient office of Compline derives its name form a Latin word meaning 'completion' (completorium). It is above all a service of quietness and reflection before rest at the end of the day. It is most effective when the ending is indeed an ending, without additions, conversation or noise. If there is an address, or business to be done, it should come first. If the service is in church, those present depart in silence; if at home they go quietly to bed.
In addition to posting general information, we are committed to supporting our parish family spiritually through resources on this website. This includes links to online Mass broadcasts, reflections on scripture, even virtual Stations of the Cross and a guide to home reconciliation. We invite you to check back regularly.
Following guidance from our archbishop and health officials, all church gatherings have been suspended effective March 18, 2020. There are no Masses or other liturgies being held at the church and the parish office is closed.
