St. Patrick's Seminary Chapel is one of the most beautiful, holy spaces you will ever experience. Benedict XVI Institute's four-voice schola led by Rebekah Wu is hauntingly beautiful. The wisdom and faith of Archbishop Cordileone are inspiring. This is the venue and these are the people for the annual St. Nicholas Day Prayer Service.
