Enjoy Videos of the Lighting of the Basilica Christmas Tree and Lessons & Carols

Parishioners enjoyed a festive evening on December 12 as they saw the lighting of the Basilica Christmas Tree, which included a blessing of the tree by Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector of the Basilica, followed by the singing of a selection of Christmas Carols in the Parish Courtyard.

And then, afterwards, they listened to the Basilica Schola Cantorum during Advent Lessons and Carols, under the direction of Basilica Music Director David Elliott.

Please enjoy videos of each of the events:
