Description

ST. LEO, FL – Saint Leo University kicked off the Christmas season on Wednesday, a little early this year, so students, faculty and staff could celebrate together before Thanksgiving break. The last two weeks of the fall semester will be completed online (Nov. 30-Dec. 11) so many students will not be on campus. Saint Leo students, staff and administration were joined by members of the Pasco County community for the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at University Campus, 33701 State Road 52, St. Leo. The Rev. Randall Meissen, university chaplain, blessed the university's Christmas tree and Nativity as the university prepares for Advent. Student Government Union President Ashley Butler read the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke 2: 1-14. Students, faculty and staff provided Christmas music.
