Schedule
The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius pray in common at the Divine Office, Holy Mass and the Rosary each day, but also foster private prayer and meditation. Because a daily Holy Hour in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament is particularly important as a means to enter more deeply into a personal conversation and union with Our Lord, it constitutes a regular element of the schedule of common prayer. (From the Constitutions of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius)
