Lessons & Carols

  • Holy Comforter Catholic Church 208 East Jefferson Street Charlottesville, Virginia 22902 United States (map)

You are cordially invited to a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols hosted by Holy Comforter Catholic Church. Chesterton Academy students will be joining the parish choir in this year’s concert under the direction of Daniel Kirkland, our music teacher and Director of Music at Holy Comforter.

Introduced in England by Edward White Benson in 1880, “Lessons & Carols” has become a beloved tradition filled with the anticipation of Advent and the joy of Christmastide. During this celebration, the story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings or lessons from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns, and choir anthems.

Registration is not required for this event, but come early to secure your seats!
