The choir of St. Francis de Sales Parish, Philadelphia, will present a candlelight concert on Wednesday, Dec. 14 from 7 to 8 p.m. celebrating the mystery of the Advent season and the joy of Christmas.

It will feature pieces by Vaughn-Williams, Victoria, Franck, Garau and others, as well as a carol sing-along.
