DLSU lights up St. La Salle Hall, opens Lasallian 2020 Christmas Season
De La Salle University lights up the St. La Salle Hall to formally usher in the 2020 DLSU Christmas Season.
The lighting signaled the opening of the University’s activities this Advent under the program Animo Christmas! held online last December 1. The program commenced with a Holy Mass, followed by performances of DLSU culture and arts groups, as well as the lighting of buildings on other DLSU campuses.
Aside from Christmas lights, the iconic main DLSU building features the nativity scene with the word “HOPE” in front of the facade, in line with this year’s theme “A Celebration of Hope and Healing.” The theme hopes to inspire the Lasallian family during this Yuletide season amid the challenging times.
In his message to the Lasallian community, DLSU President Br. Raymundo Suplido FSC says, “As we light up our Christmas decorations, we remind ourselves that the Father sends us Emmanuel, God with us. He sends us Jesus, the light and savior of His people. Jesus is the light that conquers darkness.
This Christmas, let us again welcome Jesus, the Word into our hearts and from our hearts and homes, let us share His light, His hope, His healing with other persons, other families, and other communities. Let Christmas be truly an Animo Christmas!”
