Blue and white festive spotlights shine on St. John's Church

Let us together embrace hope in our lives and for the world.

Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD Creighton President

The steps of St. John’s Church once again served as the gathering spot for students, faculty and staff (and Santa Claus!) to experience an annual Creighton tradition.

Christmas at Creighton!

All who attended, after enjoying delicious cookies, warm hot chocolate and smiling selfies with Santa, joined together to share their Christmas cheer and celebrate the lighting of the Mall.

“Please reflect on the greater spirit of the season,” Creighton President the Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD. said at the event. “And let us together embrace hope in our lives and for the world.”
