WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR MY TRIP TO LATROBE, PA?
- A passport is required for those traveling into the United States.
- Delegate meeting dress code: clerical attire (if applicable) or business casual.
- Bible and 2019 Book of Common Prayer for use in daily worship.
- It is recommended that you bring an umbrella and/or raincoat.
- Even though the temperature in Latrobe will be warm, the spaces
at St. Vincent College are air-conditioned (except for the Basilica).
Evenings could be chilly at this time of year as this is in the mountains
of Pennsylvania, so please keep that in mind. Dressing in layers is
advisable. - Comfortable walking shoes. The campus is hilly and there will be a good
amount of walking. - Bring your own refillable water bottle.
WHAT WILL WORSHIP DURING THE WEEK LOOK LIKE?
In an effort to best model the rhythms of life in the Prayer Book, there will be several worship services each day throughout the week, some optional, and with limited capacity. Our two main services will be the opening and closing Eucharists in the Basilica on Wednesday and Friday. Liturgies noted as Morning or Evening Prayer will be traditional forms from the 2019 Book of Common Prayer. Worship in the gym during Assembly Plenary sessions will be informal times of prayer and praise together. Due to size restrictions, capacity for services held in the Student Chapel is limited. All are encouraged to bring a 2019 BCP to services. The Archabbey and Parish of St. Vincent’s does offer public services throughout the week. Please consult with on-campus St. Vincent College services to learn more.
