Compline, derived from the Latin completorium, meaning “completion,” is the final prayer of the day in the Divine Offices. This serene and reflective service marks the close of the waking hours, offering a moment of peace and tranquility. A small choral ensemble leads a completely sung 25-minute service in candlelight. Modeled after the ancient practices in convents and monasteries, the prayers are chanted in both English and Latin, alternating with Renaissance and contemporary choral settings.
Compline is offered every Wednesday during Lent, from March 12 to April 9, at 9:00 P.M. in the Cathedral's Chapel. All are welcome to come and complete their day in peaceful prayer.
