Melrose Park, Illinois, December 24, 1961. Midnight Mass at Sacred Heart Church. This was back in the day when women could not enter a church without their heads covered. I remember thinking how cool it would be to become a teenager because then, I would get to wear chapel veils.

I do not think this picture is of Midnight Mass. There are no Christmas decorations in the church. I'm pretty sure it was from a First Communion Mass. The Communicants are processing out of church. They did not do that at Midnight Mass.
and another thing....it CAN'T be Midnight Mass unless we lived in the Land of the Midnight Sun! It's broad daylight! First Communion!
