The ferial days of Lent are indeed extraordinary days. All have their own proper (the movable part of the text of the liturgy). The Romans used to gather at one church, where the collect prayer was sung (collect means gathering), and then go in procession to another church (the so called stational church), where  Mass was celebrated. Come to Immaculate Conception church to experience these venerable rituals and hear ancient chants rarely heard outside of traditional monastic communities.

 Vespers of  the 4th Sunday of Lent
(Lætare Sunday)
Hebdomadary: Rev. Fr. Eugene Sta.Ana




4080 Hawk St, San Diego, CA 92103

Please join us at St. Vincent de Paul for Vespers of Lætare Sunday. The name is taken from the first word of the Introit, Lætare, which means "rejoice". The Apostle Paul, by quoting the prophet Isaiah,  invites us to rejoice with Jerusalem, to signify the joy of our approaching paschal redemption through the sacrifice on the cross of Our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ. Hear and feel all this through Gregorian chant.
