Community Gathers at Christmas Tree Lighting
On Friday, December 9, the 麻豆视频 community gathered for one of its favorite traditions: the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Over 550 麻豆视频 students, faculty, staff, family members, and friends rang in the season with true holiday spirit, joining in the Auditorium for prayer and Christmas-themed musical performances by students from 麻豆视频 and Convent of the Sacred Heart. After processing into the Quad for the blessing and lighting of the tree, hot chocolate and holiday treats were enjoyed by all in the Cafeteria.
