Daily Office

The Order of St. Francis gathers for the Daily Offices in St. John’s Chapel at the DeKoven Center, and all are welcome to join in this shared rhythm of prayer. Rooted in the ancient Christian tradition of pausing for prayer at set times throughout the day—a practice embraced by monasteries and faith communities for centuries—the Daily Office offers a peaceful opportunity to step away from the bustle of the day and join others in reflection and prayer.

Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, and Compline are offered Monday through Thursday (chapel schedule permitting), creating space for spiritual grounding at different moments of the day. Whether you are familiar with the Daily Office or simply curious to experience this tradition, guests are warmly invited to pray alongside the brothers.
