Advent Lessons and Carols at St. Mary’s Norwalk

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Anyone who regularly attends the 9:30 Solemn Mass at St. Mary’s will be familiar with the Schola Cantorum, which sings at that Mass each week. But this evening’s Lessons and Carols service featured the other choirs of St. Mary’s Church—all of which are themselves strong choirs.The depth and quality of the choir program at St. Mary’s is indeed impressive. On the program were the St. Mary’s Choir (which sings weekly at the 11 am Mass), El Coro Hispano de Santa Maria under the direction of Welder Gomez (which sings at the 1:15 Spanish Mass), the St. Mary’s Student Schola, and the Regina Pacis Academy Schola. Musical selections for Advent alternated with scriptural readings, and the evening closed with Adoration and Benediction.
