Loyola will celebrate its 22nd Annual Festival of Lessons and Carols on Friday, Dec. 10, 2010. This 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 Loyola Chapel Choir and guest artists will perform seasonal music from a broad range of musical styles and traditions under the direction of George Miller, associate director of Campus Ministry. During the service, gifts will be presented to representatives from local agencies to be distributed to children in the Baltimore area as part of the “Presence for Christmas” service project sponsored by Loyola’s sophomore class and the Center for Community Service and Justice. Please join the University community for this very special event. Admission is free of charge. For more information, please call 410-617-2222 or 410-617-2768.
For those who are unable to attend in person, we are pleased to announce that Lessons & Carols will be streamed live from the Loyola website at the following address: www.loyola.edu/campusministry/lessonsandcarols.
