Reclaiming the Beauty of the Sacred Liturgy
At the St Thomas More House of Prayer, it is our desire to show forth the beauty of the Sacred Liturgy. For nearly twenty years our retreat center has been known for its daily offering of the Liturgy of the Hours, House Retreats, Solemn Vespers with Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and First Saturday Devotions. But in order for us to offer events like these in a way that shows forth the beauty of the Church and her Liturgy, we are in need of new vestments, liturgical fabrics for our altar and tabernacle, and sacred vessels.
With these additions, we will be equipped to give guest priests the opportunity to celebrate the Liturgy in a beautiful and dignified way. We will also be able to offer all of our guests an experience of the Sacred Liturgy that raises their hearts and minds to heaven as we join in the sacrificial oblation of Christ that is present to us in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours.
