The Christmas Festival of Lights Opens Tonight

Join us, beginning tomorrow, as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.

Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 31 nights in the Chapel of Mary, known for its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights, including our walk-thru Christmas tree!

Get your tickets now and consider taking advantage of our value nights coming up next week. There will be limited admission on busy nights, so make sure to get your tickets early.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.

Praise to you, Lord our God.

Once again, thank you for another day. Bless our Friday activities and plans. Send your holy angels to protect and keep safe all travelers today. May they reach their destinations in safety and joy. Bless all the drivers that they may always be patient and generous to each other on the road.

Please answer our prayers, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
