Father Bob Deshaies, Pastor
Roger Allee, Deacon
Saturday 6 PM -- Holy Eucharist, Rite II
Sunday 8 AM -- Holy Eucharist, Rite I
(this service is preceded by morning Prayer at 7:45)
Sunday, 10 AM -- Holy Eucharist, Rite II

Rite I uses older English
while Rite II uses contemporary English.
Saturday has hymns,
Sunday at 10 there are hymns, the choir,
and parts of the service are sung.

In days of old,

people used to speak of High Church and Low Church.
High Church meant that the parish had the Eucharist
regularly while Low Churches had Morning Prayer
most of the time with Holy Eucharist less often
(very Protestant in thinking).
High Churches also tended to have more ceremony
while low churches had very simple
and plain services.
These designations don't apply much any more.
The Prayer Book indicates that the Holy Eucharist
is the principal act of worship
on the Lord's Day.
So, most churches have the holy Eucharist regularly,
however, the ceremony may differ
from one place to another.
We consider ourselves to be in the middle.
We do use incense at 10 AM,
we sing more than some parishes,
but we are not like a pre-Vatican II
Roman Catholic Church nor are we like an Orthodox church.
