Our newest Christmas tradition is back! The Children’s Christmas Carol Chorus! At the first rehearsal the children will learn verse 1 of all the carols. At the second rehearsal the children will learn verse 2 of all the carols. At the third rehearsal the children will learn verse 3 of all the carols. On Christmas Eve the children will lead the assembly in singing these carols at the 7:00 PM Children’s Mass.
