New Year's Day at the Basilica

We heard the last of the batch of New Year's Day masses in the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in NE Washington, DC. Although it was the day's last mass, the upper church was still a full house to hear the 4:30pm batch.

When mass started the sun was still shining but afterwards it was already dark. It was great to see the shrine's bell tower illuminated majestically.

Happy New Year!!! I welcome 2015 with faith and hope that everything will be better and brighter than the last.
