• Christmas Services

    Today, Christmas Eve, at 4 pm there’s a Christmas Crib Service for all ages – see the photograph below for a picture of last year’s crib service.
    Then at 6.30 pm there’s the Cathedral Carol Service featuring the full Cathedral Choir of trebles and adults.
    At 11.15 pm, midnight mass begins which will feature the Cathedral Choir singing Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit with small orchestra.
    On Christmas Day there will be a glorious Sung Eucharist at 10.30 am.

    I will be preaching the incarnation at both Midnight Mass and on Christmas Day.

    Goodness, am I the only Bagpuss fan at St Mary’s? Such a great treat when I was younger, and now I have the whole lot on video. I love the simple, elegant stories and of course the giving kindness of Bagpuss and all his friends. I think the choir should practice imitating the magical, mystical, mouse organ!
