Dear Friends,

A Christmas Message

Greetings from our beautiful Hilltop, festooned in decorations and filled with holiday cheer as we conclude the semester. It is little wonder that Saint Anselm is ranked among the top colleges in the country for Christmas Spirit!

Indeed, the Advent season is cherished by our community. Together, we celebrate this time of joy, hope and renewal, anticipating the coming of Christ Jesus as we thank God for the gift he bestowed on the world.

We are deeply grateful for our students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends, and benefactors – our Anselmian family – and their commitment to the mission and identity of this special place, Saint Anselm College. 

As Christmas approaches, may we embrace the true spirit of the season through acts of kindness and connection. And we pray that our Anselmian community may be bathed in the wonder and love of this sacred season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Warmly,
Joseph A. Favazza, Ph.D.
