Dear Manhattan University Community,
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for this year’s A Festival of Lessons and Carols. It was a truly beautiful evening in the Chapel of De La Salle and His Brothers, filled with music, candlelight and the spirit of the season.
My sincere appreciation goes to the Manhattan University Singers and Orchestra for their exceptional performance, and to Andrew Bauer and Sharon Gunderson for their leadership in shaping this extraordinary event. I am also thankful for the many students, faculty, staff, and campus partners whose contributions helped create such a meaningful celebration for our community.
As we move into this season of reflection and gratitude, I am reminded of the strength, warmth, and unity that define Manhattan University. I am fueled by it as we approach a new year.
Thank you for being an essential part of what makes our University so special.
If you were unable to attend—or would like to experience the performance again—you can watch the full A Festival of Lessons and Carols at the link below: https://manhattan.edu/lessons-carols
Wishing you peace and joy this Christmas season.
Kristell
