The Rule of St Benedict governed the daily routine of all monks in Europe throughout the medieval period. Chapter 16 states:
". . .Ergo his temporibus referamus laudes Creatori nostro super iudicia iustitiæ suæ, id est Matutinis, Prima, Tertia, Sexta, Nona, Vespera, Conpletorios, et nocte surgamus ad confitendum ei"
You can clearly see that the seven daytime Offices (services) are listed, then "and at night let us arise to glorify Him". This gives a total of 8 services, although the night Office and the morning Office (Matins and Lauds) were often held one after the other without a break.
So the correct answer is 8, not 7.

∙ 12y agoThere were 8 services every 24 hours.
The major element in each service was the Book of Psalms from The Bible, which was seen as a ready-made hymn book; there are 150 Psalms and in general terms the services were organised so that all 150 Psalms were sung over the course of the week's 56 services, an average of 2 or 3 per service. Other elements were included in the services, which lasted for between 15 and 40 minutes.

What is a pairsh?
Parish refers to the area for which a church is responsible. This dates back to medieval times, when the church parish would often cover the same area as the manor, as the church was often closely associated with the manor - many were built by the lords, and the priests were funded, as well as monks etc., to hold prayers for the lord or the manor, and to hold processions, as well as to organise the peasants. In Louisiana the term parish is used as the equivalent of "county" or "township", a basic unit in the state's government structure.

Where does a clergyman live in medieval times?
Monastery. They were all priests since the Catholic church was the only church. 2nd answer: That is overly simplistic and not necessarily accurate. It is correct that monks lived in monasteries, but priests were not necessarily monks, and many monks were not priests. All but the smallest villages had a church and a priest in residence. The priest would have had a house in the village (and a fairly nice one, by village standards) and enough of a cash income to support themselves in considerable comfort (again by village standards). Most priests would have been able to afford a household servant for cooking and basic chores. This money came from the tithe, a mandatory contribution of 10 percent of agricultural products to the parish in which the crops were grown. Churches in towns and cities would have also had clergy in residence, with a more complex organization. This clergy would have obviously lived in town.
