Wednesday Dec. 21: 2nd Vespers of St. Thomas the Apostle

Martyrdom of St. Thomas, c. 1636-1638
Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640)

Wednesday, December 21, 19:30 (7:30 PM)

Second Vespers of
St. Thomas the Apostle
w/ Benediction
On December 21, the Brothers of the Little Oratory and Chorus Breviarii San Diego will be joined by our sister group from Riverside County, Chorus Breviarii Murrieta, to celebrate 2nd Vespers of St. Thomas at St. Anne Catholic Church. The once doubtful Apostle came to suffer martyrdom in India after bringing the Faith to the pagan land's shores, with many of the descendants of these first Indian Christians forming the still-extant Syro-Malabar Church. 

Additionally, there will be a commemoration of the O Antiphon for the day, where our Lord is referred to by his title as "the Orient," referring to Christ as the Light that rises in the East that dispels the darkness of night.

Please check the link and poster below for the full schedule of Chorus Breviarii's O Tide celebration, especially if you are within the Riverside County area.
