There are gaps in time… Dec 13-23?? So they won’t do CP for 10 days???
So happy to hear that candlelight will be coming back this year. I really missed it last year. It’s been a family tradition for many many years, back to the point of when my son was doing his CP.
Great news having candlelight processional be here this year,
I would love to have them play at end let there be peace on earth song, it’s even better when all the audiences sing along with the choir. I filmed it when they had it for the first time right after 9-11 , very moving
