The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart welcomed thousands of attendees on December 18 and 19 for the 53rd Annual Candlelight Carol Sing, a cherished Christmas tradition in northern New Jersey. Featuring nearly 20 carols performed by the Cathedral Basilica Choir, accompanied by a world-class pipe organ and instrumental ensemble, the event provided a memorable evening of music, community, and faith. Among the most memorable moments was the rendition of Silent Night, during which 1,300 candles illuminated the cathedral’s breathtaking architecture, creating an atmosphere of profound peace and reverence.
