FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

“I am the vine, you are the branches.” To bear fruit, we must be connected to the vine. Consider what it means to be connected to the vine. What do you do to stay connected?  What role would study and reflection on the scriptures have in this effort? How does your connection to the vine influence and inform your choices and actions?

Let us love in deed and in truth and not merely talk about it.

-1 JOHN 3:18

======================================================

MASS PROTOCOLS: Per Bishop Oscar S. Solis of the Diocese of Salt Lake City, our current Mass protocols continue. The people (except liturgical ministers serving in the sanctuary) must wear cloth face masks upon entering the church until they depart. Masks will remain on the face throughout the whole Mass except while receiving communion. Saint Christopher will offer Mass for up to 28 persons at each Mass, with seating at six-foot distances required. Groups of 4 or more worshippers are asked to arrive at least 20 minutes before Mass begins, to be seated per distancing protocols. Any Mass that you attend during the week will satisfy your Sunday obligation. As always, the greatest concern is for each person’s health and safety, thus it is up to each person to make the decision that is best for them and the community. Please consult our website or call the parish office with any questions. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
