Yearly Chatham University tradition shines bright at Candlelight

Abigail Hakas and Carson Gates
December 7, 2023

Candles, singing and the holiday spirit filled the Campbell Memorial Chapel on Dec. 1 for the annual Candlelight celebration.

The choir sang, members from across the Chatham community read different passages, and finally, candles were lit while people in the Chapel sang together.
