The tradition of singing Christmas carols from the various continents in the quadriporticus of the Pontifical Gregorian University in the breaks between classes dates back to 1954. It has always been a much-awaited moment and a strong opportunity to grow as a community, as many alumni remember so many years later. Also in the A. Y. 2024-2025, Christmas carols accompanied us from Tuesday, 10 December to Friday, 20 December, concluding with the traditional professors' choir and greetings from Rector Fr. Mark Lewis S.J.
