A wonderful time was had by all; however it did seem sad (but satisfying) turning the lights off and leaving an empty building after Midnight Mass. Sad because the building was in darkness on such a night of celebration, but more importantly satisfaction from knowing that many had left with joy in thier hearts having been uplifted by the service.
