6:30 AM Lauds and Eucharist
8:45 AM Terce
11:30 AM Sext

They're just in it for the sext.

But what about the Trappist Ales? When do they have time to make some of the best and most expensive beer on the plant. BTW it can only carry the trappist seal if it was made by the Trappist order of monks.

Yeah - that 1:30pm None is actually another prayer, not a free time or anything.
