Hello, Alumni! How are you? We hope you're doing well.
Below are tons of opportunities to get involved and show your HF pride, from wherever you are in the world. We hope you'll give special notice to the Christmas Rose Challenge and let us know how you'll celebrate the day with fellow alumni.
We are also looking for volunteers to join the Alumni Board and become Alumni Admissions Ambassadors. Thanks for taking the time to read and stay connected. If there is anything we can do to help, please contact us. |
Father Mac's Christmas Rose Challenge
One of our enduring traditions at HF throughout our history is the Christmas Rose. Over the years, it has been marked in many ways by so many students.
During Family Weekend Mass, campus minister Father Mac challenged our alumni to connect with other alums, wherever you are in the world, to celebrate the Christmas Rose. This year's Christmas Rose is being held on Friday, December 5th at Holy Family and we encourage you to plan a small gathering with fellow alumni on or around that date.
Suggestions for your celebration: - have dinner together - meet for a coffee - see a show - do a service project - attend Mass - Skype/Google chat with friends who are far away
There are endless ways to remember the story of the Christmas Rose and we hope you'll continue this tradition annually in your own way.
Whatever you decide to do, we hope you'll send us a photo and the story of your celebration! Connect with us on social media or via email at [email protected].
Did you know the Class of 1964 has been gathering for their own Christmas Rose dinner since their graduation? These women have been celebrating together on the first Saturday of December for over 50 years!
