I am writing this on the Eve of the Ascension having just prayed First Vespers privately, and my thoughts are consumed with the blessings brought about by the daily mass at St. Mark’s. We are fortunate that for this great feast forty days after the resurrection, our church will celebrate a Low Mass at 12:00 noon, Vespers at 6:30 pm, and a High Mass with Procession at 7:00 pm. As is the case every weekday, Matins and Lauds will be prayed online at 9:00 am.
