Please join us as we celebrate our 12th Annual Lessons & Carols Advent Prayer Service virtually! An evening of prayer and song presented by the Jesuit Chamber Singers & Jesuit Drama.

this year’s Lessons and Carols premiere coincides beautifully with Gaudete “Rejoice” Sunday!

Given that the performing arts stages and concert halls have had to remain dark during the pandemic, and our choir members and musicians have not been able to come together in months, this truly will be a performance that is joyful – and also one that shows our students’ strength, resilience, and determination.

Consider making a year-end charitable gift to Jesuit in support of all of the ways we are keeping our mission going strong even during this pandemic.

MAKE A GIFT TODAY

God bless you and your families and Merry Christmas.
