Dear Family,

This past Friday, June 22, marked the end of the third year of my term here as your pastor. It is hard to believe! I remember vividly the day a little more than three years ago that Bishop Malone pulled me aside at a priest meeting that was being held at St. Greg’s to ask me if I would consider taking on this role. I told him that I did not need to think about it. I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to come back! In looking back on these three years, I am amazed at what we have accomplished together as a parish family. I thought I would remind us all of the highlights!

Spiritual and Ministerial Growth:

~Refocus Pastoral Council to spiritual needs of parish

~Neighbor in Need dinners

~Rekindle the Fire Within: Praise and Worship Evenings

~Return of Votive Candles to the parish

~Creation of a Knights of Columbus Council

~Book giveaways at Easter and Christmas for our spiritual nourishment

~Installation of the Lighthouse Media Rack and FORMED online resources

~St. Nicholas Day party

~Trunk-n-Treat for Halloween

~Parish Picnic for our St. Christopher Feast Day

~Extended hours for Reconciliation during Lent/Advent

~Renewed focus on the Catholic Culture of our School along with a new administration

~Annually sponsor two or three teens to attend the Christian Leadership Institute

~New Website and social media platforms

And so much more…

Physical Plant upgrades:

~Refurbishing of the St. Edmund window

~Replaced all church light fixtures with LED bulbs

~New parking lot behind the school, in front of school and around the loop in front of the church

~Replaced roof on old church building

~Flagpoles (thanks to the Knights of Columbus!)

~Purchase of new priest residence and the sale of the St. Edmund residence

~Enhanced security measures on the grounds (and more to come)

~Coming soon…new phone system for parish and school to replace the antiquated system

And so much more…

There is still a lot that we can do together to build the Kingdom of God here at St. Christopher and within our wider community! Thank you for all of your support and know of my prayers for you each and every day!

Praised Be Jesus Christ…Now and Forever!!!
