The days and weeks before Christmas at Catholic University are a time to balance prayer and study, fun and finals. The lighting of the University's official Christmas tree, the Annual Christmas Concert for Charity, the living nativity, Advent devotions, and pre-Christmas parties all around campus give students, faculty, and staff opportunities to relax amidst the end-of-semester projects, papers, and exams. It is also a time to remember to true meaning of the season celebrating the birth of the Savior.
