Christmas Eve mass in Basel

#1
Hi folks.  It's my family tradition to attend Christmas Eve mass, and I just learned that the English speaking Catholic mass only occurs at 5:30pm Christmas day, so we are considering a German mass for Christmas Eve.  Any suggestions of church, time and place?  Although I have lived in Switzerland for over 3 years, this is my family's first Christmas in  Switzerland.

And....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!!!

Thanks,
Mary

Thank you so much.  And a very merry Christmas to you and yours.

My children are throwing together some Christmas cookies this morning.  We just got back from visiting Rome.  With student demonstrations and embassy bombings there, we are glad to be back to the calm of Basel!
