Schedule of services

In the liturgy, especially in the Holy Eucharistic sacrifice, “the work of our redemption is accomplished”; thus, the liturgy contributes supremely to enabling the faithful to express and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the true nature of the real church. It is both human and divine, visible and yet endowed with invisible values, zealously active and devoted to contemplation, present in the world, and yet merely passing through... (From the constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium)

Opportunity for the Sacrament of Reconciliation

Every day at 17:30 (and on Sundays at 9:30) before the start of Mass or even after Mass, or upon request.

Prayer of Vespers

Vespers combined with the celebration of Mass are held every Wednesday from 18:00 in the Strahov basilica.

Adoration of the Eucharist

Every Thursday after the evening Mass, we hold a communal adoration of the Eucharist. The adoration begins around 18:40 and ends at about 19:15. You can spend 30 minutes in silence before the Eucharist; the adoration is not accompanied by spoken contributions and concludes with the communal prayer of compline and the sacramental blessing.

Prayer of the Way of the Cross

During Lent, we organize a communal prayer devotion of the Way of the Cross. We meet every Tuesday at 20:00 on Petřín, with the gathering of participants at the 1st station. Another opportunity for the prayer of the Way of the Cross is in the monastery basilica every Friday during Lent at 17:30.
