Fr. George commends our parish for having already followed the executive order issued by Mayor Vanessa Fleisch on March 25th, effective March 26th. Again, our church is closed to worshipers except for the four persons assisting Fr. George with church services. Please stay at home, wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face, nose, or eyes, and practice social distancing. While the maximum limit in attendance without a fine is 10, Fr. George changed the number of persons in attendance to no more than 5 before the Mayor's Executive Order. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Our St. Christopher Families are encouraged to visit this website and use resources from our Archdiocese as we are remaining at home and unable to go to work, school, or church. God is with us and through these resources blessing us!
