Here is a personal message from our Director of Music Ministries, Meredith Augustin to all of you who joined us online to watch Carols with the Choir:

Please join the Friars, members of our music ministry and Friends for a wonderful afternoon of music and prayer! ​

Let’s get digital! Staying connected to the Church of St. Francis of Assisi community looks a lot different these days and we are bringing our annual Carols with the Choir to you!

Carols With the Choir has been a tradition at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi for over 8 years! We will be hosting Carols with the Choir virtually, so you can participate from the comfort and safety of your home. We have an exciting program planned with music, comedy and a special song by our very own Father Barry Langely. The event will be hosted by everyone’s favorite, Father Michael Carnevale.

Host a gathering at your house, with those in your covid social bubble or plan to enjoy on your own from the comfort of your couch. Either way, we have beautiful afternoon for you to enjoy while you watch our awesome lineup of music. The best part is you don’t have to leave your house! We are excited to offer the Carols With the Choir concert at no charge as our gift to you. However, we hope you will consider making a free-will donation to help sustain everything we do here at the Church of St. Francis of Assisi.

Join us for Advent Vespers (evening prayer) each Monday of Advent as we take time to slow down and pray during this sacred season of hope and expectation.  Add some extra time to tend to spiritually prepare for the celebration of Christmas.

Vespers, 5:45 PM in the upper church and on livestream.
