Advent Lessons & Carols, a blend of Scripture readings, prayer, and hymns which tell the story of salvation from Creation to the birth of Christ, will be held at St. Joseph Church, 231 Main Street in Ellsworth, on Tuesday, December 5, at 6:30 p.m.

Those gathered will sing traditional Christmas carols for 15 minutes, and all are welcome to attend. This is a family-friendly event. Organizers will provide the lyrics.

During the Mass, Fr. Dan Greenleaf will stop to explain different aspects of Mass.

Join Fr. Jack Dickinson and Michelle Valcourt for an evening exploring the universal call to holiness and what each of us can do to enrich our relationship with God.
