About this Event
Join us for one of the major spiritual and community-building events of the year. Through scripture, poetry, and song, this year’s Festival invites us to rediscover the hope that has always been ours—and to ask where that hope might take flesh today.
The journey through Advent and the mystery of Christmas invites us not simply to ask where hope began, but where hope begins again, in every age, every generation, and every human heart.
This year, the Paulist Fathers have challenged their communities to consider more deeply what it means to become missionaries of hope. Our Festival of Readings and Carols takes up that invitation by returning to the mystery of the Incarnation. In Jesus, the hope that has always been present in God takes on “sinew and muscle and bone.” Hope becomes flesh and dwells among us.
