Midnight Mass 2010: the "Director's Cut"

At St Joseph's this year we again had a "Service of Christmas Carols and Readings" starting at 11.00pm, followed immediately by Midnight Mass.

Here's how things looked about ten minutes before we started the Carol Service - all a bit "bare, ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang".




Fortunately, in time-honoured fashion, people kept arriving during the service so that by the time Mass started, the numbers had doubled. Even so, there were only about sixty people (so one parishioner told me this morning after Mass) and the church seemed to be only half full.

Once Mass began we managed to film some parts. So here are some of the musical highlights. You can decide for yourself which heading sums things up best: Wales - Land of Song or Catholics Can't Sing!
