Weber Chapel glows with the soft light of hundreds of candles as the voices of more than 1,500 students, faculty, staff, alumni, families and community members join together to sing Silent Night. This moving moment caps Christmas Candlelight Service, one of Susquehanna University’s most cherished annual traditions.

Started in 1966, the service also includes traditional readings, songs and prayers in celebration of the season. Numerous student musical ensembles perform, including the Festival Chorus, University Choir, University Chorale, University Wind Ensemble, Chamber Singers, Handbell Choir and Brass Quintet.

Christmas Candlelight Service is also broadcast live by Susquehanna’s radio station, WQSU The Pulse, on 88.9 FM and online at wqsu.fm.
