Under the direction of Leon Griesbach, the Psalterium Institute Chamber Choir, Boy Choir, and Girl Choir will present an evening of beautiful Christmas music and readings in celebration of the Solemnity of the Epiphany of Our Lord. The evening will include traditional carols for all to sing, choral music from across the world, and a special presentation of Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols for children’s choir and harp. Admission is free. Donations accepted.

On the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, we celebrate the birth of Christ. It is the feast of the Incarnation, the feast of God becoming flesh. The Christmas season is a time to reflect on the gift of salvation that is born with him, including the fact that Christ was born to die for us.

The children of Prince of Peace Parish will put on a Christmas pageant prior to the 4 p.m. Christmas Eve Mass at Holy Family Church, 607 Sabattus Street in Lewiston.

Our Lady of the Valley Parish will hold a Children’s Mass Play on Christmas Eve at 4 p.m. at St. Luce Church in Frenchville. Children in grades pre-K to 12 will be participating in the Mass and the Nativity play as Mary, Joseph, angels, shepherds, the Magi, choir members, altar servers, readers, ushers, and more.
