Midnight Mass

The traditional Christmas Eve celebration of Midnight Mass comes live from St Anne's Roman Catholic Cathedral in Leeds. The Mass is introduced by Monsignor Philip Moger, Cathedral Dean, while the Bishop of Leeds, the Rt. Rev. Marcus Stock, is the principal celebrant and will also preach.

Leeds Cathedral Choir, led by Director of Music Benjamin Saunders, sing Haydn's joyful Saint Nicholas Mass and Leeds Trinity Cathedral Boys' and Girls' Choirs sing the beautiful German carol Still, Still, Still. The congregation, made up of local residents and Christmas visitors, join in well-loved carols including O Come All Ye Faithful, Unto Us Is Born A Son and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, accompanied by Cathedral organist David Pipe.
