2020 Christmas Tree Lighting
|
On Tuesday, December 8, the lighting of the Elms College Christmas Tree took place virtually. It was a small group of only essential personnel but the moment is noteworthy of how the Elms community finds ways to connect with each other, even virtually. Enjoy the music and lighting of the Elms College Christmas Tree while taking a moment to reflect on the reason for the season. |

Mass with Father Mark Stelzer |
|
Weekly Mass is celebrated with Father Mark on YouTube from St. Joseph Chapel in Berchmans Hall. This has been a blessing during this unprecedented public health crisis. We have heard from alumni, who live near and far, about how much they have enjoyed these Masses. Many feel more connected to the College of Our Lady of the Elms.
The college plans for these recordings to continue until regular on-campus Masses can return. Masses are posted at 4 pm on Saturdays on the college's YouTube channel and the Elms College Facebook page. Join us this week! |
