Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary

Horarium

Praise, you servants of the Lord, praise the Name of the Lord. From the rising of the sun to its setting, is the Name of the Lord to be praised. Psalm 113:1,3

All time belongs to Christ, the Alpha and Omega, and so all of the hours of day and night in the monastery are consecrated to Him.  Our day alternates between periods of liturgical or private prayer, study and work; between time in community and time in solitude.  We have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament daily from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
