Festival of Lessons and Carols

The Music Ministry of SS. Isidore and Maria Parish celebrate the season with a Festival of Lessons and Carols on Tues., Jan. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at St. Paul Church.

The Festival of Lessons and Carols is a service of Scripture and song that dates to the late 19th century.  In this service, we listen to nine Scripture lessons that recount the Fall, the promise of a Messiah, the Incarnation, and the Great Commission to preach the Good News.  Each lesson is followed by a carol or other song that reflects on the lesson’s message and a brief prayer.
