Join us on December 17 as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.
St. Michael's Abbey invites you to prepare for the celebration of Christmas by praying and singing with us during our service of Lessons and Carols. The evening will include readings from Scripture and writings from the saints, polyphonic works sung by the abbey schola, and carols sung by all!
Come and join us as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.
The evening will begin at 7 PM on Sunday, December 17. (The broadcast below will go live approximately 10 minutes before this start time.)
The Abbot's Circle is a first-of-its-kind virtual monastery—an evolving, curated library that offers an inside look at the artistic, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual work that the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey carry out each day for the praise and honor of God.
Hidden in the stillness of southern California’s desert mountains, St. Michael’s Abbey goes about a timeless and supernatural mission: the common worship of God. This is a place for all to encounter the unfathomable beauty of God and to enter into the mystery of His unrelenting love.
Against a culture in ever desperate need for beauty, St. Michael’s Abbey stands as a refuge for reverent liturgy, inspiring art, and captivating sacred music and chant. Through our work, we are laying the foundation for the sanctification of our society and a renewal in our Church.
