A beautiful candlelight service with Holy Communion and carol singing led by the incredible Cathedral Choir. Bring friends, family, or just yourself and enjoy celebrating this meaningful tradition with familiar and well-loved carols. Come early to enjoy more great music! Preludes will begin at 4:30pm. This is the only Christmas Eve service that will have Childcare available.
As you walk through the entrance under the bell tower at Christ Church Cathedral on Christmas Eve, the soft lights of the candles at the edge of the box pews beckon one and all to come in, join us as we celebrate the birth of Jesus: The Feast of the Nativity! There is an anticipation of something special and unique that can bring hope and joy to a world ready for the love of God. From the sounds of the pipe organ to the jubilant strains of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" the service begins. Joining with friends or strangers, you are surrounded by the readings, Carols and the Holy Eucharist for the commemoration of the the birth of Jesus. Sharing the feast of communion, then in the light of hundreds of single candles, singing the familiar words of "Silent Night" you are wrapped in the warmth of the Cathedral family. Then, each of us, in our own way, goes into the night to greet the first moments of Christmas Day. Come join us, and we can share this beauty and joy together!
