A Big Mass for A Small Church

 

t Canice’s opened 125 years ago next May with a Haydn Mass; with many dignitaries; with much aplomb. We are a poor church in comparison to those heady early days of the new colony. Hopefully, this past Sunday could well be a foretaste of what we might expect in May 2014 as part of the Quasquicentennial celebrations.

After the Mass, one parishioner tearfully summed-up the experience recalling his late wife always saying, “you’ll know you’re in heaven when you hear the music!”
