The church offers several programs to celebrate the birth of Christ. In the past, they have hosted performances of G. F. Handel's 'Messiah' performed by the Cathedral Choir and resident Baroque orchestra joined by renowned soloists from around the world. They have also hosted an annual live simulcast worship service with the cathedral congregation and the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem, Palestine.
