One of Charleston’s longest and most memorable holiday traditions is the Christmas Candlelight Services at The Citadel’s historic Summerall Chapel. The 2015 services will take place Dec. 4 – 6. The services, which are held for the community and for visitors to Charleston, feature Christmas music performed by members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets.
This will mark Chaplain Joel Harris’ final services as he is retiring at the end of the year. Harris joined The Citadel in 2009 as the director of religious activities after serving more than 20 years on a variety of assignments for the U.S. Army. A 1972 graduate of the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, Harris’ last assignment before retirement was as chief of operations for the U.S. Army Europe Chaplain. When he was selected for promotion to colonel in September 2008, he chose instead to retire and accept the opportunity to lead religious activities at The Citadel.
Each performance is at 7:30pm.
