What We Did Last Christmas Eve 2012

          

We had the privilege of putting something extra special last Christmas Eve when Fr. Seraph Balmadres asked the Brevs to do a Christmas Serenade before the Panunuluyan and Christmas Eve Mass.  It was a short notice but the grace was given to pull it off as we maximized the availability of those who were serving during the whole 9 days of Misa de Gallo.  Thank You, dear Lord for the opportunity to serve You.
