http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/scenes-from-a-parish/ When a young, irreverent priest arrives at Saint Patrick Parish in Lawrence, Massachusetts, he discovers the unexpected—boiling ethnic tensions in a changing working-class community. Filmed over four years, follow the wildly diverse personal stories of Father Paul O'Brien and his unruly flock, as they struggle to hold onto faith in the face of desperate circumstances. In this clip, the parish prepares for Christmas midnight Mass. SCENES FROM A PARISH premieres Tuesday, December 29 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

I watched this film last night on PBS/KLRN and I really enjoyed it. Would love to find the music for this film. I know the composer to be Seamus Egan
