A Note from the Office of Alumni Relations
Blessings to you and your families for a beautiful Christmas season. We are thankful for all you do for Immaculata.   
 
The rotunda was alive with beautiful music during our 95th annual Carol Night celebration on December 4. Special thanks to the entire music department and our student musicians who put us all in the Christmas spirit with their musical talents.
 
Thank you to so many of our alumni and families who returned for this most cherished tradition.
Prior to the Carol Night singing, members of the class of '66 kicked off their 50th reunion during a special reception hosted by Immaculata's President, Sister R. Patricia Fadden, IHM, '99 Ed.D. They are already looking forward to reunion weekend, April 29 - May 1, 2016!

Guests also enjoyed hot cider and snacks in the Great Hall. If you couldn't join us that evening, please enjoy the many photos which captured the spirit of Carol Night
 

On December 10, our Golden Macs enjoyed the beauty of Christmas in the rotunda with a special Christmas Tea hosted by the Office of Alumni Relations. We enjoyed seeing so many of you and were happy to share Immaculata's Christmas with you. View photos from the event here.
