St Mary's, Oak Bay is pleased to announce the 2025 Lent concert series, On the Journey! Local performers contribute their gift of music that will accompany us on our pilgrimage towards the Light, and support a local charity. Once again, we are pleased that donations will support the work of the Victoria Hospice Bereavement Fund.

The Lent noon hour concert series was established in 2007 by the late Catherine McFadden Dunning Young.

The Concerts

Each concert will be open for in-person attendance, by donation. If you forget and would still like to donate in support of Victoria Hospice Society's Bereavement Services, here's a link:
