On Wednesday 11 November at 19:30 the parish of Santa Cruz das Flores opens its Marian Jubilee Year in the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição. The evening combines a Eucharist, a solemn session and a cultural recital by the Coro Laudum Dei. The jubilee, dedicated to Our Lady of the Conception, marks 380 years since the Coronation and 120 years since the patron's image arrived. Expect a parish occasion first and a concert second: worth it if you are in Santa Cruz and want to hear the choir in the church.
Practical information
The parish church is in Santa Cruz das Flores, the island's main town, within walking distance of the centre and a short taxi ride from the airport.
