Pope Benedict's Midnight Mass and the Choir School

Not a very likely combination: the Midnight Mass in Rome's St. Peter's Basilica with our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI and Salt Lake City's Cathedral Choir School. But indeed a remarkable connection this year as one of our alumni - Deacon Christopher Gray/Class of '97 - was chosen to serve as a Deacon at the Papal Midnight Mass, which included a great deal of singing. Deacon Gray sang the Gospel, a portion of the Universal Prayer and the Solemn Dismissal.

Deacon Gray continues his studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome and will return to Salt Lake City in June for his Ordination to the Priesthood in our Cathedral on Saturday June 29 at 11:00 AM.

Congratulations Deacon Gray!
