Church of the Advent

Church of the Advent Anglo-Catholic worship in the heart of Boston.

The Church of the Advent is a Christian community which gathers together day by day and week by week to know and make known the grace of God which comes to believers through Jesus Christ. All that we are and all that we do is empowered by the grace of God which is given to us through the Sacraments instituted by Christ, particularly the Sacrament of the Altar. And by means of this abundant grace w

e enjoy a diverse, vital, and close-knit parish family - young, old, rich, poor, of various ethnic origins and differing backgrounds. From our extraordinary music program to a growing church school, our guilds of bell ringers, gardeners and acolytes, to those who serve our long-standing Tuesday Night Community Dinner for the needy, the Advent is a community of faith which tries to keep the Gospel close to her heart and to live by Jesus' teaching.

Regular Compline (Night Prayer) returns to The Advent this Sunday, May 24 at 9:00 p.m. as a special service; preceded by a lecture, a group of singers will present the earliest polychoral setting of Compline, by Renaissance composer Francesco Santacroce.

Sunday, May 24: Lecture at 8:00 p.m. by Dr. Sam Bradley, Musicologist & The Advent’s Music Administrator | Compline at 9:00 p.m.

About the music: Santacroce and his contemporaries, active in Padua, leave us the earliest securely dateable works written for more than one choir. This setting of Compline may in fact be the earliest surviving polychoral work, one that will receive its first performance since the 16th century at this upcoming service.
