Church of Our Saviour
Led by parishioner Kathleen Ullman, this is an opportunity to walk a 35-foot style labyrinth as at Chartres Cathedral in France. It is a tool for meditation: by following the one path into the center, the seeker can quiet the mind and find peace at the center of their being. This year’s meditations are based on the seven great “O” Antiphons proclaiming the coming Christ as the fulfillment not only of Old Testament hopes, but present ones as well.
Annual Christmas Concert
Sunday, 15 December | 6:00 p.m.
Church of Our Saviour
Following the Sunday 5:00 p.m. Mass, join the Choir of Our Saviour & Sacred Hearts for a 30-minute choral performance featuring beloved carols for Advent and Christmas spanning the centuries. The concert concludes with congregational singing of holiday favorites.
Among the leading professional ensembles of its kind in New York City, the choir’s primary raison d’être is to sing the weekly choral liturgies of the parish. Additionally, the ensemble appeared on NBC's Saturday Night Live supporting recording artist Sam Smith, with Paul Mezcal in the upcoming film The History of Sound, Ensemble-in-Residence at The General Theological Seminary, and various concert events at both the Church of Our Saviour and Chapel of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary.
