Rogation Event
Saturday, May 31st – 10am
Help us plan for our diocesan-wide Rogation celebration!
Traditionally, Rogation is celebrated near Ascension Day on which the litany is sung (or recited) in procession as an act of intercession. They originated in Vienne, France, in the fifth century when Bishop Mamertus introduced days of fasting and prayer to ward off a threatened disaster.
In England these days became associated with the blessing of the fields at planting. The vicar “beat the bounds” of the parish, processing around the fields, reciting psalms and the litany. In the United States, they are associated with rural life, agriculture, and fishing. The prayers in the Book of Common Prayer (pp. 207-208, 258-259, 930) have widened their scope to include commerce, industry, and the stewardship of creation.
The BCP also permits their celebration at other times to accommodate different regional growing seasons.
This year, we will celebrate Rogation as a diocese at Procter Farm, with Bishop White leading the procession as we visit various stations that represent our common life.
Participants are invited to bring soil, water, and seeds from their homes or congregations to share and be blessed.
Our celebration will begin at 10 am on Saturday, May 31st, and will conclude with a picnic lunch.
The celebration is free of charge; lunch is $15 per adult and $10 per child, 5 and older.
Please email camp@proctercenter.org if you would like assistance with meal payment.
