Before beginning Christmas vacation, students, faculty, and staff gathered in the Jack Curran Gym for Molloy\u2019s annual Advent Liturgies. Fr. Nicholas Colalella<\/strong>, celebrant for both the freshman\/sophomore and junior\/senior liturgies, reminded those in attendance that Jesus is always asking to be welcomed into our lives, we simply need to open the door. He reflected on Christ\u2019s birth in a humble stable rather than in comfort, reminding us that Jesus is never afraid to enter into “the chaos of human existence.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
