Note:  It is our intent to ring the church bell and say the Angelus at noon each day during Holy Week.  
All are invited, wherever you are, to join us  at noon for this brief prayer.

The Angelus

In many churches the bell is rung morning, noon, and evening in memory of the Incarnation of God, and the faithful say the following prayers, except during Eastertide, when the Regina coeli is said.

V. The Angel of the Lord announced unto Mary,
R. And she conceived by the Holy Ghost.
V. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, 
    Blessed art thou among women, 
    and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
R. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, 
    now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord;
R. Be it unto me according to thy word.
Hail, Mary . . . 

V. And the Word was made flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail, Mary . . . 
​
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
​
Let us pray:   We beseech thee, O Lord, pour thy grace into our hearts; that as we have known the incarnation of thy Son Jesus Christ (announced) by the message of an angel (to the Virgin Mary), so by his + cross and passion we may be brought unto the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Regina Coeli

During Eastertide, until First Vespers of Trinity Sunday
O Queen of heaven, be joyful, alleluia;
Because he whom so meetly thou barest, alleluia,
Hath arisen, as he promised, alleluia:
Pray for us to the Father, alleluia.

V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
R. For the Lord is risen indeed, alleluia.
​
Let us pray: O God, who, by the resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ didst vouchsafe to give gladness unto the world: Grant, we beseech thee, that we, being holpen by the Virgin Mary, his Mother, may attain unto the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
