Evening Prayers in Notre Dame Cathedral Before the Fire
of April 15th, 2019

For years, our French speaking Salt and Light viewers have found a home in this magnificent Cathedral each evening, as we televised sung vespers from Notre Dame de Paris each day. Monday's tragic fire has shocked us all and leaves us very sad.
 
This is a recording of the last service of evening prayers sung in the Notre Dame Cathedral before the fire on April 15.  Please join our hearts, voices and prayers with the people of France as they mourn the loss of this holy place, one of the most important Churches in the Catholic world for over 850 years.
We pray for all firefighters and those at the scene of this tragedy.
We pray for the people whose parish home was here at Notre Dame.
We pray for the Archdiocese of Paris.
We pray for millions whose lives were changed as they visited this Cathedral and experienced God's presence.
