Theology of the Body Consider linking into this weekend conference/ webinar to see how a dynamic Catholic Church is reaching out to our wounded culture and world.  This easily accessible format is a great way to familiarize ourselves with some of the tools and weapons that the next few generations of Catholics will need to continue the job of building the Kingdom of God and Teaching the Nations.  Did I mention that it is FREE?  April 30 to May 2.       https://www.tobvirtualconference.com/

Thank you for the Saint Christopher Parishioners who participated in the annual Parish Clean-Up From Mary Beth Kuntz, Parish Council Pres.

“On behalf of the Saint Christopher Parish, I wish to thank Cynthia, Mark, and Natalie, Jim P., Ethan and Ethan’s father, Laura T., Mike B., Fr. Rick, and Mary and Noel for their solid work last weekend during the Saint Christopher Parish Clean Up. Doors/the sign cross/handicap spot are painted, handrails are painted, cobwebs have disappeared, leaves have been vacuumed from window wells and around the AC units, trees trimmed, and the garage has been swept. Please know we appreciate your efforts and due diligence. Additionally, a “shout out” to our resident chef extraordinaire Fr. Rick for the delicious lunch. Thank you one and all!!! ”   Marybeth K.
