I know I commented on this in your own journal, but [livejournal.com profile] emperor's post has reminded me that LSM used to hold the Vigil on Saturday evening, too. It must have changed at some point after 1991, which is when I graduated. (And it so does not feel like fifteen years...)

AFAIK it was only once observed in the early evening (as opposed to around midnight); that was in 1994, during the interregnum between the death of Fr James and Fr Andrew's arrival, when Fr Nigel (not a man keen on the combustion of midnight oil) was in charge. Fr Andrew at first restored the Vigil to a late night slot as had been the norm under his predecessor; then a few years ago he introduced the present custom of coinciding with the dawn.

The years I attended would have been 1990 and 1991. I don't recall what time of the evening it was held in those years, only that it definitely started while it was still Saturday. I don't think the start was as late as midnight, but it may well have started around 10 pm and finished after midnight.

Indeed: it may well have started around 22h, so that the boring bits (interminable readings etc.) could be got over with before midnight and the Mass itself commence (with the intonation of Gloria in excelsis) as soon as possible once the new day had officially begun.

I love the readings! Sadly, we only had five at Holy Trinity & St. Augustine on Sunday morning.
