This was to be put up in the Parish Library where there is already and altar for Mass if there are too many priests in the parish wanting to say Mass.

They had to call in the talents of a tall boy to put up the very highest draperies as they could not reach. The highest points.  Everybody agreed that it was a truly reverent and inspirational Altar of Repose.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/SA6rN3ZzdkI\/AAAAAAAAAVI\/72BMBrSkSzI\/s1600-h\/12+-+Medium+Altar+Shot+BEFORE+CANDLES.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/SA6rN3ZzdkI\/AAAAAAAAAVI\/72BMBrSkSzI\/s400\/12+-+Medium+Altar+Shot+BEFORE+CANDLES.jpeg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192275675103589954\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/SA6rNnZzdiI\/AAAAAAAAAU4\/vgySkVJDuBQ\/s1600-h\/20+-+Wide+Altar+Shot+BEFORE+CANDLES.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/SA6rNnZzdiI\/AAAAAAAAAU4\/vgySkVJDuBQ\/s400\/20+-+Wide+Altar+Shot+BEFORE+CANDLES.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192275670808622626\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/SA6rNnZzdjI\/AAAAAAAAAVA\/UqTzWTeonmw\/s1600-h\/4+-+Wide+Altar+Shot+AFTER+CANDLES.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_IbPOz5dvLAI\/SA6rNnZzdjI\/AAAAAAAAAVA\/UqTzWTeonmw\/s400\/4+-+Wide+Altar+Shot+AFTER+CANDLES.jpeg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5192275670808622642\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As well, many of the girls from the Children of Mary were involved in the Choir for the Midnight Mass and they all came back voluntarily next morning for the High Mass.
