Last Saturday the Archbishop announced that effective June 18, 2018 Deacon Richard Malamut will be serving at St. Mark Parish in Bristol. Deacon Rich served St. Christopher Parish faithfully for seven years and is well loved. He will be preaching at the 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM Masses on Sunday, June 17th. There will be a reception immediately following the 10:30 Mass during which all are invited to wish Deacon Rich well in his new assignment. Please spread the word!

On June 3rd, we celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. We also opened our new Eucharistic Adoration/Daily Mass Chapel. It is our hope that the new chapel will reignite the flame of devotion to Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

Gene McNally, a longtime parishioner at St. Christopher will be ordained to the Order of Deacon this Saturday, June 9th, at 10:00 AM. Archbishop Chaput will be the principal Celebrant of the Mass of Ordination at the Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul. All are invited to the Mass which will also be live streamed for any who cannot make it in person. (Click on the title of this news item to be directed to the live stream on June 9th at 10:00AM)

Father’s Day Mass Remembrance Envelopes and Father’s Day Spiritual Bouquet Cards are available in the church or at the parish office. Please return the intention envelopes to the parish office or put them in the collection basket so that your Father’s Day intentions can be placed on the altar and be remembered in the masses on Father’s Day.

On Sunday June 3rd, after the 12:00 noon Mass, there will be a Eucharistic Procession marking the opening of our new Adoration Chapel. We will have light refreshments for the occasion and could use a few hands to help with this. If anyone is able to help, please call the Parish Office.

We are looking for a few more lay volunteers (adult and high school age) to conduct these sessions during the 10:30 Mass each Sunday. You will help to guide 3-6 year old children through a kid-sized version of the readings of the week along with a coloring page. With enough volunteers, we will rotate teams to minimize the commitment. If you want to discuss this further, please contact Deacon Jim @ deaconjim@stchrisparish.org
