Fr. Gregoire Fluet, Vice President for Mission and Ministry, celebrates with a Mount Saint Mary College student at the annual tree lighting festivities.
The Mount Saint Mary College campus glowed a little brighter on Thursday, December 4, as students, faculty, and staff gathered for the college’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
More than just a flip of a switch, the event served as a joyous pause in the semester, bringing the campus community together to celebrate the start of the Advent season. Under the glow of the towering tree in front of Guzman Hall, the crowd joined in singing traditional carols, their voices warming the crisp December air.
Inside, students took a break from their pre-finals studies to enjoy holiday-themed games and a popular stuff-a-plush station, where they created festive stuffed animals to take home.
Fr. Gregoire Fluet, Vice President for Mission and Ministry, welcomed the college community.
The event highlighted the college’s commitment to fostering a sense of home and tradition for students before they depart for the winter break.
