Choral Adoration by Candlelight

Come adore our Lord by candlelight. October 18’s Choral Adoration takes place on the Feast of St. Luke, beloved physician. We will hear Scripture from his Gospel, and our Schola Cantorum will sing of themes of healing and peace. The two organ voluntaries are works of composers who actively work in the medical profession.
