Gather

Carols by Candlelight is not only a Yorkminster Park tradition, but a Christmas must for many Torontonians since the 1930's. It was started during the Depression in the hope that the beautiful candlelight and stirring music would lift the spirits of all who came. Almost a century later, thanks to the talents and devotion of our choirs, Carols by Candlelight is still bearing tidings of comfort and joy!

Featuring the Yorkminster Park choir conducted by William Maddox, Organist and Director of Music and Sharon Beckstead, Associate Musician.
ADMISSION IS FREE

The service is also being webcast LIVE. To watch visit: https://bit.ly/48uzDvI
