Saint Margaret Parish

Please note the following:

The canonical obligation for Catholics to attend Sunday Mass has been dispensed at this time.

Although the Governor of California has directed that indoor worship services are now illegal, Mass has been moved to the outside piazza to accommodate the faithful. There are no numerical restrictions. 

Social Distancing & Facemask
Requirements Still Required on Church Grounds. 

All public Masses will be offered in its simple form outside in the church piazza. 

Please note, new Mass times (mornings and evenings) during this time of transition.

All who attend Mass and Catholics who have the option to receive Holy Comunion or not, are asked to prudently follow healthcare directives for the sake of each another's physical and spiritual wellbeing.  Doing so is an act of love and sacrifice.

The Lord has commanded us to pray without ceasing, and this is what the Church's official Liturgy of the Hours help us do, whether we are alone, at home or work.

Access each individual liturgy for today by clicking on the relevant time of day below.

Morning Prayer – at the start of the day's work and the coming of the light. The theme of this prayer is praise.

Day time Prayer – at mid-morning, noon and in the afternoon, to unite us with the one for whom and through whom we are working. The theme of this prayer is asking for help.

Evening Prayer – at the end of the day's work, to offer up what we have done. The theme of this prayer is gratitude and remembering back on the day with thanksgiving.

Night Prayer – last thing at night, to commend our souls to God. The theme of this prayer is the rest that comes from trusting in God.

And finally, there is the Office of Readings, at whatever time of day is best for us to reflect on the mystery of salvation, with the help of Scripture and the writings of the Fathers of the Church.

“The purpose of the Divine Office (The Liturgy of the Hours)  is to sanctify the day and all human activity.” – Apostolic Constitution, Canticum Laudis.


A simple printed version of the Liturgy of the Hours is available through searching for the title "Shorter Christian Prayer", published by Catholic Book Publishing Co.
