Choral Evensong and Benediction

Choral Evensong at Saint Paul’s Carroll Street is Evening Prayer sung by the all-professional choir. The congregation joins in singing the hymns. The Preces, Psalms, Magnificat, Nunc Dimitis, Responses, and an anthem are sung by the choir. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is Jesus’ blessing on the people via a consecrated host (Jesus’ real presence) placed in a monstrance and solemnly placed in the sight of the congregation.
