Introduction

About the DePaul Emeritus Society

DePaul University values its ongoing connections with its faculty and staff retirees, as it values their past contributions to the university’s mission. The DePaul University Emeritus Society was founded in 2008 with the merger of the Staff Emeritus Society and the Emeritus Professors Association. The Society is sponsored by the University’s Office of Mission and Values.

The purpose of the DePaul Emeritus Society is to provide a means for ongoing connection, communication, and socialization between the university and its emeritus faculty and staff, and between individual retirees whose professional lives were for so many years dedicated to university service.

Photos, events, and information of interest to members of the DePaul Emeritus Society will be posted to this blog. Please take a look, add your comment, offer to be an "author" or just enjoy.

Christmas at DePaul - Ticket Lottery Open

Christmas at DePaul



It is my pleasure to inform you that Christmas at DePaul returns to St. Vincent de Paul Church for its ninth year of performances. Selections of familiar and classic music are performed by the 150-member DePaul Community Chorus and a 50-member orchestra of students from the School of Music, providing a joyful score to this passionate retelling of our Lord's birth. Each year a student is selected from The Theatre School to narrate the sacred story.

Unlike most Christmas productions in the city, there is no admission charge, but we request that a donation be made to one of the St. Vincent de Paul parish-sponsored charities. The intention behind this event is that we celebrate this joyous season together while ministering to those in need in the spirit of Vincent.

Performances this year will be:

Thursday, December 10, 2015; 7:00pm
Friday, December 11, 2015; 7:00pm
Friday, December 11, 2015; 9:00pm

Following the Friday 7:00 p.m. performance, there will be a Christmas party in the Student Center for the DePaul faculty, staff, students, trustees, and families. Santa Claus will share treats with the children and pose for photos with family and friends.

Due to high demand in the past few years, tickets for this year's performances will again be distributed via a lottery. You can register for the lottery at the Christmas at DePaul website from October 22 through November 2. Those that have been selected through the lottery will be notified if they have received tickets on November 5 and 6. Once again, tickets will be required for each and every performance of Christmas at DePaul.

Additional details about the performances and a list of suggested donation items that will most benefit St. Vincent de Paul charities can be found here.

During the busy Christmas season, I hope that you will be able to take time to join us for what I am certain will be a magical and inspiring evening.

Sincerely,

Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, C.M.
President
