The following schedule maps out a typical day of a Choir monk having already completed his Novitiate. The daily schedule of a Novice or of a Theology student is somewhat different. That of a Brother, likewise, comports a few modifications. Also, for all the monks, the daily schedule or horarium for Sundays and important Feast days differs to some degree from that given here (Vespers, for example are at 5:00 p.m. instead of at 6:00 and are followed by Benediction).
