Advent Lessons & Carols

November 21, 2022

Sunday, November 27, at 6:30 p.m., we will celebrate one of our most beloved liturgical traditions: The Advent Procession. As the Cathedral is brought from darkness into light, we recount the coming of the Savior through words and music of prophecy. This year’s service features music spanning ten centuries, from Hildegard of Bingen to André Thomas. The final anthem is a tribute to American composer Ned Rorem, who died last week at the age of 99. A reception will follow in Kyle's Place.

This service will NOT be live-streamed, so we hope you will join us in person to usher in the Advent season.
