Due to falling plaster (didn't see that in the weather report), the upper church at the Immaculate Conception is closed for Masses. Thus, Masses are down stairs, in what I like to call the Crypt Church, which is the term used at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, in Washington, DC (NE).
Because the "Lower Church" only holds about 400 people and more are expected for the 4 and 6 PM Christmas Eve Masses, those two Masses will be held in the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, courtsey of said Auditorium. However, the 10 PM Christmas Eve mass will be back in the "Lower Church".
If you are looking for beautiful music for your Christmas Eve Mass, then I recommend the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Children's Choir at the 4 PM Mass and the enhanced Adult Choir at the 6 PM Mass.
That is all. (As the sound of the Bosun's pipe fades.)

For your readers who may live in Chelmsford or wish to journey there, there will be a beautiful Christmas Eve service at the Chelmsford Congregational Church on Worthen Street at 7:00 PM. The parking lot to the church is on North Road. While the newly repaired organ is not back in place yet, there is a marvelous pianist and a wonderful senior and junior choir who will sing as part of the service.
Merry Christmas to you and all your readers!
Is Martha in any of the services?
Yes, Martha is the organist for all three Christmas eve Services. Sadly, her husband will not be hanging tough for all three, but he will be buying dinner between the 6 and 10 at a restaurant of her choice.
Pat, thanks for noting the Chelmsford Christmas Eve service at the Congregrational Church.
Regards — Cliff
I hope I know which restaurant is her restaurant of choice!!! :-)
