ANNUAL JOSEPHIAN CHRISTMAS CAROLS ‘ 2023
The Annual Josephian Christmas Carols will be held on the 3rd of December 2023 at the Stanley Abeysekara Sports Complex cum Auditorium. This will be presented by the St.Cecilia’s Choir of St. Joseph’s College, Colombo 10. Carols are an expression of joy that resides in our hearts, with a rhythm of God’s love, a radiance of God’s Glory, surrounded by his caring arms and gift wrapped in His plan for us. “A Christmas Carol” is a beautiful story for the Advent season because it is a tale in which the past, the present and the future all come together in one transformative night.
The singing of Carols reminds us that God, in His love for us, sent His Son to be one of us. Christmas is a time to celebrate one of the most remarkable miracles found in the Holy Bible. On this Christmas Eve, we remember the birth of Jesus and the good news he brings to us. It is an opportunity to pause and give thanks for the love, hope and joy found in Jesus, our Saviour and friend. We find the real joy of Christmas when we make our Saviour the focus of the season. One notable aspect of Carols is their ubiquity. They are across cultural, ethnic and even religious boundaries.
The title of this year’s Carols is “Jesu Salvator Mundi”, which means “ Saviour of the World”. The College Choir consisting of 90 members will be presenting a wonderful array of carol songs in English, Sinhala, Tamil and Latin languages. As usual, this choral presentation will bring happiness and joyfulness to all participants. His Lordship Rt. Rev. Dr. Anton Ranjith, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Colombo will grace and honour the occasion as the Chief Guest. May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace, the gladness of Christmas give you hope, the warmth of Christmas grant you Love and the celebration make you joyful. Sharing with you the Glory, the wonder and the Miracle of this Holy Season. - Maruthai Ravindhiran
