Catholic Community Choir performs second annual holiday concert

The Catholic Community Choir performed their second annual Christmas Concert on Saturday in the Battelle-Tompkins Atrium. The choir sang traditional Christmas songs such as "Angels We Have Heard on High," "O Holy Night" and "Joy to the World."

Approximately 30 people attended the concert, including Karin Thornton, the associate Catholic Chaplain at AU. The concert was directed by Choir Director Matt Klaus, a senior at AU.

Students were encouraged to sing along at the end of the concert to songs such as "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," and "Frosty the Snowman." Students were asked to make a $3 donation to benefit research for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Immediately following the concert, the Catholic Student Association hosted a birthday party for Jesus complete with pizza and cake. They also collected toys for the "Toys for Tots" program.


Section 202 hosts Connor Sturniolo and Gabrielle McNamee are joined by fellow Eagle staff member and phenomenal sports photographer, Josh Markowitz. Follow along as they discuss the United Football League and the benefits it provides for the world of professional football.
