The Candlelight Service is an 89 year old annual
event service held in Gunnison Memorial Chapel the last Wednesday of fall
semester.Two services are marked by
traditional Christmas carols punctuated with readings and music by the Laurentian
Singers, the University Chorus, and a Community Children's Chorus .The Chapel is illumined by over 250 candles,
in addition to the individual candles each congregant holds, which creates a
very special moment in the life or our community.Candles are a universal symbol of hope in the
midst of the darkness, so Laurentians from all walks of faith find meaning and
hope in this service.
