Offered on Wednesday evenings from Thanksgiving to Victoria Day. The candlelight celebration is a time to pause in the middle of a busy week and relax as candlelight and darkness immerses you in an experience of prayer, meditation and music. No prayer books, no hymnals; candles provide all the light needed. The evening offers the comfort of anonymity by candlelight, followed by an opportunity to converse and connect afterwards. This service is offered in-person.

Music after Reflection: Beata Viscera - Perotin
Kyrie: Missa Orbis Factor
Music at the Close of Service: Deep Peace - Bill Douglas
For those of you who are curious the English Tranlsation from the Latin of the Music After Reflection "Beata Viscera" is as follows:
Blessed womb
Blessed womb of the virgin Mary on whose breasts the king of great name; under others garments concealing his divine power formed a treaty for men and God.
O new marvel and new joy, a mother still virgin after giving birth.
May I reveal, may it be pondered, while the pure one rises in heaven you are seen a vision not suffered may he see from the side while it is reflected the womb birthed a child which is wholly closed.
O new marvel and new joy, a mother still virgin after giving birth.
