Sung Mass and Divine Office

Prayer Times

The Abbey Church, completed in 1982, is the spiritual centre of the seminary and monastery. Architecturally, it has become widely known as a beautiful, awe-inspiring building, a sacred space in which to worship God. Its stained glass windows, and vaulted ceiling inspire the onlooker to think of the power and grandeur of God. All are welcome to join us in lifting up our hearts to sing God’s praises.
