Vice President for Mission and Ministry Daniel Cosacchi, Ph.D., announces four upcoming campus traditions\u00a0 to celebrate Advent, which began Sunday, Dec. 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
First,\u00a0Campus Ministry\u00a0invites the University community to attend one of Scranton’s most cherished traditions: the\u00a0Advent\u00a0Mass, which will take place on Sunday, Dec. 7, at 5 p.m. in the Byron. Afterward, attendees will process with candles to the Dionne Green to bless and light the University’s Christmas Tree.\u00a0All are welcome at the event.\u00a0Please feel free to bring family members such as parents, siblings, children, friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Center for Service and Social Justice (CSSJ) invites all to take an ornament from the Mission and Ministry Christmas Giving Tree located on the second floor of the DeNaples Center in order to purchase a gift for a child in need in the area. Unwrapped gifts are due to the CSSJ office, DeNaples Center, room 205 B, by Dec. 12. Also, CSSJ is once again partnering with Performance Music for the annual Empty Stocking Fund Benefit Concert at 7:30 p.m, on Dec. 14 in Houlihan-Mclean. The admission charge is one new, unwrapped toy, a new toiletry item, or a cash donation. All proceeds will directly benefit local families in need.<\/p>\n
Finally, continuing with a longstanding tradition,\u00a0The Jesuit Center\u00a0continues offering the daily\u00a0Advent\u00a0Devotional, which provides fruitful reflections on the scripture readings and feasts of the day.\u00a0Sign up for these reflections.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vice President for Mission and Ministry Daniel Cosacchi, Ph.D., announces four upcoming campus traditions\u00a0 to celebrate Advent, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179,274],"class_list":["post-50750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-the-university-of-scranton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
