Bethlehem University marked the arrival of Christmas with a solemn Midnight Mass at the Chapel of the Divine Child, an event filled with joy, reflection, and spiritual renewal. The Mass was presided over by His Excellency Archbishop Adolfo Tito Yllana, Chancellor of Bethlehem University and Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine.
Vice Chancellor Brother Hernán Santos, in his concluding remarks, extended warm Christmas wishes to all. He said, “Christmas speaks to us about hope. Not a hope that ignores our struggles, but a hope that is born in the middle of them. The child of Bethlehem tells us that light can still shine in darkness, that love is stronger than fear, and that peace is always possible. As we begin this Mass, may our hearts be open, our faith renewed, and may we leave this place ready to carry that hope to our university, our society, and our world.”
