Please take one of the ornaments from the tree! The following weekend of December 15th and 16th, you are asked to bring your gifts and hold onto them until the offertory of the Mass. Please bring them forward to the altar along with the bread and wine. We ask that you bring the gifts in a gift bag if possible, with the ornaments taped on the outside of the package.

Please consider participating in this year's Secret Santa program and help those less fortunate. You may make contributions by cash or check, payable to Saint Christopher. Contributions can be sent to Lisa at the parish office. If you are aware of a family in the parish experiencing financial difficulty, we invite you to make a confidential phone call to Lisa or to Father Sean, Deacon Jim, or Father Joe. These families will be the recipients of the anonymous love and concern of their fellow parishioners. Last year several thousand dollars in gifts went to families in need.

You can help nurture the vocations of priests, sisters, and brothers by praying, listening, and expressing appreciation. A life of service needs support from those served.
