Lessons and Carols for Christmas
Sunday, Dec. 17, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

A seasonal staple, the festival of lessons and carols has been celebrated at Anglican churches and cathedrals for well over 100 years. Each year, hundreds of people pack the cathedral to celebrate the season with traditional carols led by the cathedral’s choir and organ. This year, the service includes a new carol by BC composer Tobin Stokes.
