Vigil Mass





This year our vigil mass started at 9pm and saw the church packed out, with people outside and sitting in the aisles. A traditional service was preceeded by carols: -


The Angel Gabriel

O little town of Bethlehem

While shepherds watched

See amid the winter's snow

The first Nowell

On Christmas night

Hark the herald angels sing

It came upon a midnight clear

The mass settings for the vigil service came from the Mass of Peace and the music was led by Mary on the organ.

Entry: - O come all ye faithful

Light the Christmas candle

Gloria: - Missa de Angelis

Offertory: -Joy to the world

Sanctus: - Mass of Peace

Mem. Acclam: - O come let us adore Him

Agnus Dei: - Mass of Peace

Communion: - What child is this/Sleep Holy babe

Recessional: - Away in a manger/Silent night
