This Sunday, February 23, we are pleased to offer Choral Evensong and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. In a rare opportunity, the Evensong and Parish Choirs will join forces for the last service of this kind before Lent.St. Paul's is one of the rare Episcopal parishes in the country to offer this liturgical combination regularly - on 2nd and 4th Sundays, October through mid-June, along with each Sunday of the Penitential seasons. It represents a rich celebration of choral music and timeless ceremony, and we hope you will join us.
A reception will follow.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Evensong is sung Evening Prayer and features canticles and psalms appointed for the evening and sung by the choir on the congregation’s behalf. The scripture is adorned by hymns and anthems.
Benediction, akin to eucharistic adoration, is a brief ritual appended to Evensong in which hymns and prayers are sung as Christ’s Body is exposed at the High Altar and blesses the people, all kneeling.
Music will include the compelling "Westminster" Canticles of Howells alongside other gems of the literature.
