We discussed the importance of the Liturgy of Hours (also known as the Divine Office,) the prayer of the Church, in the life of a Secular Franciscan. As some of our community were unfamiliar with the prayers, we discussed the structure of the prayer as well as the books necessary to recite them.
For those interested in praying the Divine Office via the Net, go to this site: http://universalis.com
We also decided that all future meeting will commence at 7:00 PM instead of 7:30 as had been the norm.
We also started planning for our parish's St Anthony Feast Day celebration. After both Masses on June 13th, our community will hand out blessed bread, as is the custom for St Anthony day. Plans are still being discussed for an additional Italian Mass in the afternoon to accommodate parishioners interested in attending Mass in the evening.
