Keeping the "Hours"

in observance of

The Feast of St Benedict

"Seven times a day I will praise You"

Psalms 119:164

Saturday July 11, 2026

7:00am thru 7:00 pm EST


Dear All,

On Saturday, July 11th, you are invited to a one-day retreat in the comfort of your own home to participate in the Hours/Divine Office. WCCM-USA will once again be offering the Liturgy of the Hours to commemorate the Feast of St. Benedict. There will be a short presentation at the designated “Hour” followed by a time of Meditation. Seven times a day, we will praise together.


Blessings,

Kathleen
