Christmas Mass
Be Held At St.
Joseph’s Church
(By The Associated Press)
Midnight Mass will be celebrat
ed this year on Christmas Eve.
Though this privilege has been
rescinded in most parts of the
United States. Nome has enjoyed
i it for many years. In days gone
' by, when the population of Nome
was larger, admission to the
Catholic Church on Christmas
Eve was by ticket. During the
past few years the general pub
lic has been invited.
This year we extend a very
! cordial invitation to all, said
Father John Concannon. The
beautiful Missa De Angelis Mass
'■ of the Angels, will be sung by
an augmented Choir. This Mass, a
Gregorian chant, was composed
by Henry Dupont, the disting
uished music master, said the
! Catholic Father.
It wil lbe sung in unison and
in harmony. “We feel that we
shall have the finest Choir. St.
Joseph's Church has had in years,
and that its efforts will be appre
ciated by all,” he declared.
The High Mass is at once dig
nified, devotional, and Divine.
Mozart once wrote to a friend:
I “Had I written the music for the
Preface of the Mass, I should
have considered I had written my
j epitah.”
And Madame Schumann-Heinck
who for a number of years sang
the annual Military High Mass
for the Marine at San Diego, re
marked: “The music of the Mass
is so beautiful that I hope the
good God let’s me die singing the
Mass.”
Remember the Date—December
24th—Midnight.
