A wonderful Midnight Mass in a delightful church with an incredible young girl singing. We were on holiday staying at a nearby hotel and were so glad to attend this Service on such a holy night.

I was there on a very sad occasion (my brother's funeral) but it's a very pretty church and I will definitely return in happier times.
