• 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.

We are intending to convert the partnership into a marriage at the earliest possible time but are legally not married at the moment. Thus this question is complicated. I am a kind of Schroedinger’s Cat: both Not Married and Married at the same time. I have tried to explain that to the US Government, but am unable to discover whether I have done so successfully.
