Carols of Nations

On 21 December 2008 the El Shaddai Group of Canberra represented the Philippines in the Carols of Nations wherein choirs from several community groups including Vietnam, Germany and Italy.

It was held during the open house at the Archbishop's House. The choir members were elegantly dressed in 'barongs'. Their song 'Ang Pasko ay Sumapit' was well applauded - even the kids were clapping and swaying to the song even though they did not understand the words.

That is the magic of music - being a universal language. Archbishop Mark Coleridge said that his house is the house for the people - so next time you are in Canberra - pay the Archbishop a visit.
