Today the student body packed St. Mary's Church to celebrate their annual Carol Service. Students, faculty and staff were challenged to go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is the reason St. Mary's College exists. The Gospel of the day recounted the story of John the Baptist sending messengers to Jesus to ask if He is the one- Jesus sent them back and told them to proclaim what they have seen and heard - so too are the members of the College called to do the same - by the way they live their lives each day. The Christmas holiday began after the last exam of the day and the students and teachers will return refreshed (we hope) and ready to begin 2011 on January 4th.
Students needed to sit outside as the Church could not hold the big gathering
Students joyfully sing their praises to the new born KING
