Midnight Mass makes a comeback: ADAMS -- A Christmas tradition is returning to St. Stanislaus Kostka Mission Church after four years. The first midnight Mass since 2008 will be held on Christmas Eve, leading into Christmas.
Rev. Daniel Boyle said Friday that he and the spiritual life committee began discussions on bringing the tradition back starting in the late summer.
"After reflection, we felt it was the right thing to do, in order to enhance our spiritual community," Boyle said.
Music will begin at St. Stan’s at 11:30 p.m. on Monday. Christmas carols will be sung in both English and Polish before the Mass begins at midnight. Rev. Boyle and Deacon Greg LaFrenier will officiate.
