Join us for OLLU’s oldest, ongoing tradition!
Candlelight Advent Prayer Service – 90th Anniversary
Friday, December 5, 2025 @6:30 p.m.
Sacred Heart Conventual Chapel
Dating back to 1935, Candlelight is a cherished tradition that serves as a moment to pause and reflect on the profound themes of the Advent season, a time of waiting and joyful anticipation for the coming of Christ. This magical night is not merely an event; it is an experience filled with Scripture readings that touch the heart, uplifting hymns that resonate with hope, heartfelt prayers that invoke peace, and exquisite musical performances by the talented San Antonio Choral Society, all culminating in a thoughtful reflection that invites contemplation. At its conclusion, we will walk together in unity and warmth to fill the expansive floors of the Moye rotunda, where we will joyously sing beloved Christmas carols by candlelight, bringing forth a spirit of community and shared celebration. As the evening unfolds, attendees can delight in an array of festive treats, including delicious cookies, comforting hot chocolate, and savory tamales, graciously donated by OLLU alumna, Valerie Gonzalez Handly of Delicious Tamales, adding a delightful flavor to the wonderful memories we will create together.
