We came together for our Eucharist for the first Mass of Christmas at 11:00pm on Christmas Eve.
The Church was lit by candlelight and with all the candles on our Advent wreath now lit we felt the move to a joyful welcome for our Saviour.
The Church was full of people starting their Christmas celebrations with this central element of the Christmas story.
Father Stephen was the celebrant, and the choir sang 'Away in a Manger' and Ding Dong Merrily on High after the communion.
We left the Church wishing each other a Happy Christmas.
