A Very Marian Advent Prayer Service at Cathedral of Christ the Light!
Christmas is coming! Join Bishop Michael C. Barber at the the Cathedral and enrich your Advent spiritual preparation with this special “lessons and carols” prayer service.
The theme? Waiting with Mary through that challenging last month for the birth of her Son and Our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Very Marian Advent Prayer Service, originally launched three years ago in San Francisco, features newly commissioned Advent and Christmas carols by living Catholic artists including Frank La Rocca, James Matthew Wilson, Mark Nowakowski, Fr. Dwight Longenecker, William J. Fritz, Mina Pariseau and Roseanne T. Sullivan.
Be part of the first EWTN broadcast of these stunning new carols.
Come this year and hear two new carols honoring St. Francis of Assisi, in honor of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the founding of Mission Dolores by St. Junipero Serra (which is the birthday of San Francisco):
“See the Oxen Bending Low” with words by Fr. Dwight Longenecker and music by William J. Fritz honors the Christmas creche founded by St. Francis. And then the creative team put together a new hymn based on Fr. Longenecker’s adaption in English of St. Francis’ own words in ” Salutations to Our Lady.”
