A few days to recover and we are ready for the biggest day of the year, the Sunday before Christmas or thereabouts. Start in St Aidan's Cathedral with a sung mass. Fr Lawless is very sharp and pushes on at the Sanctus leaving us fumbling in his wake. Very few noticed.
In the afternoon a good turnout for St John's where we sang around the wards and met many old friends. We got to see the wonderfull new Hospital. All very smart and modern. Tea and Cakes very kindly supplied by the Matron and Staff.
The candlelit Advent Service in St Mary's was very enjoyable and we were happy to produce a joyfull noise. The Church of Ireland does not stint on the number of verses in each Carol. Just as well, as we all knew the melody well by the time we reached the end of each one.
A long and tiring day but very rewarding.
