Our Mission We are a Roman Catholic Parish, whose
members live and proclaim the saving message of Jesus Christ.
Our Vision St. Christopher Church serves as
a spiritual home where all are welcome to share in its ongoing commitment
to providing opportunities for Worship through
the Celebration of the Sacraments, Service through
active and compassionate participation in the community, Education
in God's Word and the Catholic faith, and Fellowship
through parish events that nurture and support family life.
Heavenly
Father, We pray for all of the people and programs at St. Christopher
Parish. Unite us as a community of believers and grant us the wisdom,
grace, and strength to do your will. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
-- Amen.
Learning about
our Catholic faith does not end with confirmation, high school or college;
it is a lifelong process. For that reason the following list is provided
as a starting point for adult Catholics to continue to deepen and understand
our faith. It also can be helpful in explaining/defending our faith to others
as well as passing it on to our children. The list is not exhaustive and
will be constantly updated as new resources become available.
