Every year the USF campus community gathers to celebrate the lighting of the Creche on our main campus. This annual tradition brings together students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members to bless and celebrate the nativity scene and prepare for Christmas. This year we have merged two annual December traditions; the Lighting and Blessing of the Creche and photos with Santa.
After the blessing, attendees will be invited to enjoy festive drinks and treats and given the opportunity to take their own pictures with Santa! Registration is required!
