Award Presentations and Special Events

“Tonight we participate in that movement from dark to light with our wreath here and our tree on the Commons. These symbols express the sentiments, the commitments of our University community and the Church of which we are a part. We are called to be people of fire and light, called in the oft quoted words of St. Ignatius to “go and set the world on fire.” Tonight as our Jubilee ends and advent begins, we recommit ourselves to that great commission at Scranton.”
