Join us for our fourth annual sacred music celebration and fundraiser. Convivium Marianum: A Prayerful Contemplation on the Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Scripture and Song is unique service that combines prayers and readings from the daily office of Marian feasts throughout the year with beautiful sacred music dedicated to the Mother of God.

This joyful evening helps us prepare for the coming of Christ on Christmas and reflect on the Blessed Virgin Mary’s role in salvation history.

Attendees enjoy singing familiar hymns and stunning choral works performed by a choir of over 40 professionals and volunteers under the direction of renowned church composer and conductor Kevin Allen.
