Volunteer for Holiday Candlelight Concert
Our Holiday Candlelight Concert typically is performed every third Tuesday of December in a beautiful church venue, decorated with candlelight and holiday cheer. Volunteers help with both set up and clean up before and after the concert, as well as ushering.
This year’s concert will be on Tuesday, December 17, 2024 at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church.
