Office of Compline

Compline

At 9:00 p.m. on the first Sunday of the month (September through June), the men of the Cathedral Choir sing the Office of Compline.

2022-2023 Dates:

September 4th | October 2nd | November 6th | December 4th
January 1st |
February 5th | March 5th | April 2nd | May 7th | June 4th

The Office lasts about 40 minutes and consists of psalms, short passages from scripture, an office hymn, a canticle (Nunc Dimittis), a responsory, collect and additional prayers. In keeping with the earliest practices of the monastic communities, Compline is offered when the work of the day is completed—a time when the quietness of evening settles over the hearts and minds of those who have come together. It is an opportunity for reflection, to offer gratitude for the blessings of the day which has passed, and to anticipate God’s gift of a new day to come. We hope you will join us for this unique spiritual experience.
