From the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, Clonard
Monastery in West Belfast.
The Redemptorist Fathers of Clonard have celebrated the traditional liturgy of Christmas with the people of the 'Falls' for almost a century. Their church stands on the notorious Peace Line separating the two rival traditions of the city. The
Rector, Fr John O'Donnell , with members of the community, leads the people of West Belfast in proclaiming the birth of the Prince of Peace. With the Clonard Choir. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; While Shepherds Watched; Away in a Manger;
Angels We Have Heard;
Once in Royal David's City; 0 Come. All Ye Faithful.
