There will be a traditional Latin Midnight Mass for Christmas in St
Joseph's Church, Gateshead. St Joseph's is a fine Church in the centre
of Gateshead with a large choir gallery and excellent acoustics. This
is believed to be the only traditional Latin Midnight Mass in England.

I am organising the music and anyone who would like to sing would be
more than welcome.

There will be carols before Mass (from 11.30pm), then I am planning to
do the full Gregorian Proper during Mass. To keep the event as 'user-
friendly' as possible the Ordinary will be De Angelis and Credo III.
There is the possibility of one or two polyphonic motets at the
Offertory and Communion but that depends on the voices available.
