NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Mormon Tabernacle Choir is featured on Sunday's episode of the TV series 'Touched by an Angel,' adding a musical tribute in an episode that supports a family in the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The episode, "I'll Be Home for Christmas" will be broadcast on Sunday, instead of in 'Touched by an Angel's' normal Saturday night timeslot.

The episode, directed by Victor Lobl and written by Martha Williamson, focuses on the Lewis family, mourning a beloved member of the community who is missing after the September 11th attacks. Young Benny Lewis is having a hard time understanding the disappearance his favorite teacher, Mr. Harper, who is also the school's choir director and the director for a local church's annual Christmas pageant. The Angels help the family rekindle the holiday spirit through nostalgic memories.
