On this Christmas eve, we see the crib almost ready, missing only the baby Jesus who will be added to the crib when it is blessed tonight just before the Midnight Mass. Over the coming days we'll be showing cribs from the Cathedral, St Thomas Mores and homes within the parish, please use contact form to send us your offering.
Please note original plans for blessing of the crib have changed.
Behind the scenes
The hard work and preparation for all the flowers that have been prepared over the last few days were revealed last night. Here we see Jane, one of the florists amongst the red and green and gold displays. What a transformation to the plain green and absence of flowers during Advent.
