Dress Rehearsal Slide Show

Day after Christmas and all is quiet. This gave us some time to download and edit photos. Here is a rough slide show from Thursday's dress rehearsal. Click on the image for a full scale version. If some sequences seem out of order, blame it on the sugar from yesterday's feasting.

Photos!!!

We have a few photos to share through this link: Amahl Album. We'll continue to post photos to this web album so visit this blog again after Christmas. Meantime, the choir will be singing and ringing at Midnight Mass (carols at 10:30 p.m., mass at 11) and at the 12 noon mass on Christmas Day.
