ORATORIAN COMMUNITY IN FORMATION - CHRISTMAS GALLERY

Here is a short, very mixed gallery of photographs from Christmas day events at the Cathedral in Bloemfontein. We sincerely hope that all who see this post had as blessed, holy and joyful a Christmas as we did.

Fr Cyriacus celebrates the Christmas Vigil Mass on Saturday night.

Dr Martina Viljoen plays the big University Allen Organ. Amongst the

works she presented were JS Bach's In dulce jubilo BWV 729 and, at the Vigil

Mass, Olivier Messiaen's Dieu parmi nous from his La Nativité du Seigneur.

Waiting for Christmas dinner, the Oratory "B" team: Fr Johnson's
Betty in the foreground, Fr Xolisa's Luigi in the window box...

...and Father Philip's Snoopy helping him to make up his bed.
