Events

Christmas in Christ Chapel 2025, Seeking Hope: Dreams of a New Way, takes us on a journey of longing, discovery, and renewal. Like the Magi, we embark as seekers—drawn by wonder, gathering in joyful adoration at the Nativity, and embracing a shared dream of hope, transformation, and unity. Through music, dance, and spoken word, the service celebrates the power of hope to guide us toward a new and more compassionate way of being—together.

The annual program features the Gustavus Choir, Choir of Christ Chapel, Christ Chapel Ringers, Gustavus Symphony Orchestra, Lucia Singers, and select members of the Gustavus Dance Company.

This year’s event, themed "Echoes of Light: St. Lucia Tradition Meets Gustavus’s Future," will honor our cherished traditions while looking ahead to an exciting new chapter. The timeless qualities of Lucia—light, service, and leadership—have always guided our campus. This special event is a chance to reflect on this legacy and celebrate the bright future.
