Event Navigation
On Saturday, Dec. 10, 7 pm, Holy Cross Catholic Church, 1621 University Ave. NE (ample parking), will host their Second Annual Advent Lessons and Carols. This musical celebration combines seasonal carols, choral music and hymns with Scripture readings for the season. This event is free and open to the public. A social reception with food and drinks will follow in Kolbe Hall. Though the tradition of Lessons and Carols originated in the late nineteenth century in England, Holy Cross’s observance of this tradition has a Polish flair, featuring kolędy and readings in Polish. This program features choral music by Palestrina, Wood, Manz, Goldschmidt, Carter, as well the premiere of a newly composed carol by Holy Cross Director of Music, Samuel Backman, entitled “The Branch of Peace.”
