St. John Cantius Church is pleased to invite one and all to our 20th annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
The 20th Annual Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols will be held on Saturday, December 14 at 7:00 p.m. Join us for the Fundraiser sit down dinner and concert which begins at 5:00 p.m. and includes reserved seating for the concert.
This much-anticipated event features voices uplifted in song, and spirits uplifted with tradition and reverence. This century-old tradition blends Sacred Scripture and Sacred Music. It is a cherished event for our church, our community, and beyond.
Enjoy singing classic carols with our choirs accompanied by our massive Casavant Pipe Organ, named the Richard Ryan organ. Hear the Christmas story read from the famous “nine lessons” taken from the Bible. Let your heart be warmed by youthful voices of our Magnificat Choir. Start your Christmas celebration right with beautiful Christmas Music from St. John Cantius, as the stunning voices of our St. Cecilia Choir sing to the Infant Lord of Bethlehem.

$200 - This year we are delighted to offer a sit down dinner prior to Lessons and Carols. Spaces are limited. The dinner is $200 per person. This includes reserved front section seating in the church.
Tickets will also be available at the door. Doors open at 6 pm.
NB: Members of Religious Orders in habit, as well as members of the U.S. Armed Forces in uniform and first responders, will receive free admission to the music program.
The Festival, which celebrates the birth of Jesus, is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns, and choir music.
The Festival is traditionally celebrated at St. John Cantius after first Vespers of Gaudete Sunday. It is concluded with exposition and benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and is thus a splendid way for the participants to prepare for the coming of Christ on Christmas.

I love moments that inspire a deeper connection to tradition and nature. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy eco tours in St. Augustine—they offer a chance to appreciate the beauty of the environment while taking time to reflect. Just as music brings people together during this event, exploring the natural world fosters a sense of community and awe. Celebrating in meaningful ways, whether through music or nature, truly makes the season feel special. Thank you for sharing this inspiring tradition!
