St Columba Choirs Invited to Sing at the Cathedral
This Sunday!
The St. Columba's Choir and Choristers will sing Evensong at the Cathedral of St. Philip this Sunday, March 19 at 4:00 pm. Evensong, which is made up of Scripture, prayers, and magnificent music, is a beautiful service, especially in the inspiring setting of our Cathedral. Being invited to sing Evensong at the Cathedral is a rare opportunity and great honor for our choirs and parish. Please plan to attend and experience this ancient and moving service of vesper prayer.
