Lessons and Carols
Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é will celebrate its 36th Annual Festival of Lessons and Carols on Saturday, December 7th, 2024 at 5:00pm in the Alumni Memorial Chapel.
This annual ecumenical service, rooted in the great English choral tradition, combines music and scripture readings of the Advent Christmas Season in a beautiful candle-lit setting. The Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éUniversity Chapel Choir and guest artists, under the direction of Laura McCormack, Associate Director of Campus Ministry, will perform seasonal music from a broad range of musical styles and traditions.
During the service, gifts are presented to representatives from local agencies to be distributed to children in the Baltimore area as part of the "Presents for Christmas" service project co-sponsored by Loyola’s Center for Community, Service, and Justice and Campus Ministry.
