Christmas services draw large Canberra crowds
Attendance at Canberra churches for Christmas was described as the largest in recent times. Midnight Masses at St Christopher's and St Patrick's overtaxed capacity, with strong showings at St John's St Paul's and various country centres. Archdeacon Robertson urged giving and brotherhood as the true Christmas spirit, reflecting on Bethlehem's historic message beyond daily news.
