Divine Infant parishioner Claudia Dado recently received the degree of Master of Arts in Liturgy from the Liturgical Institute of the University of St. Mary of the Lake in Mundelein, Illinois.  Congratulations, Claudia!

Claudia's Master's Project was on the Liturgy of the Hours.  We introduced the Liturgy of the Hours to the parish during Lent by praying Evening Prayer on Fridays and Morning Prayer and Night Prayer during the Sacred Paschal Triduum.  We will continue to make the Liturgy of the Hours part of the ordinary liturgical life of our parish.

If you would like to learn more about the Liturgy of the Hours, please stop by the rectory and read the paper Claudia submitted for her Master's Project.

He is Truly Risen!
