We went to 6:30pm mass at The Church of Notre Dame. This church is part of a hospital and a hotel. It was about a 10 minute walk from our hotel. It was a perfect way to end our tour of Israel. A greeter at the church asked Nick to do the second reading and for me to do the petitions. We did and it went well. The church was small and crowed. There were three priests celebrating the mass and they were all from Spain. The small choir consisted of about 20 ladies from the Philippines and they sounded like angels. The acoustics in the small church were wonderful. A very nice celebration of the mass. Where the church is situated just outside the walls of the old city we were only about 300 yards from the place where Jesus was crucified. It was an emotional feeling to be there and we were honored to participate in the mass.
