The Cathedral Cultural Series is happy to present a Festival of Lessons and Carols, a musical prayer service to prepare for Christmas with readings, prayer, and lovely carols presented by the Cathedral Schola, children of the Choir Academy, and Archdiocesan singers. Auxiliary Bishop Robert J. Fisher will be presiding. All are invited to this free event.

Many Catholics who have experienced Lessons & Carols for the first time have said it was among the most moving and meaningful ways to prepare their hearts for the coming of Christ. It is a celebration that can draw us beyond sentimentality into true spiritual readiness. If this year’s calendar is already full, perhaps consider it for next year — a gift of beauty, reverence, and hope for your community.
