Carols by Candlelight - A night of peace and wonder
As Advent draws us toward the promise of Christmas, Knock Basilica will glow with the soft light of candles and the familiar warmth of carols. “Carols by Candlelight” invites families, pilgrims and friends to gather in quiet reverence and joyful anticipation. Surrounded by flickering light and voices joined in melody, you’ll feel the nearness of peace — a moment of stillness in a hurried world.
'Carols by Candlelight' will take place on Sunday, December 21st at 8pm. This joyous evening of festive music and well-known Christmas carols is the perfect way to begin your Christmas celebrations this year. Set in the candlelit surroundings of Knock Basilica, the evening will feature Schola Cantorum Basilicae and Knock Youth Choir. Musical accompaniment will be by the Con Tempo string quartet and pianist Mark Keane.
The event is free of charge. No booking required.
