70 Years of Faith - Honoring our Past,

Building our Future

Building Project Update - News!

We have permits for demolition and building for our project! The planned start date is on or very near February 1, 2023. More info about how that impacts the parish for the short term to come. We will have to make some accommodations for parking and building access for a while. Meanwhile, we still have fundraising to do.

There are brochures and pledge cards at the doors of the Church. If you have not yet joined us with your three-year pledge, please take a card & envelope and drop the completed pledge card off in the Parish Office mail slot. You may also click the box below for an online pledge. Thank you for your interest in the future of St. Christopher Parish!

As you consider your end of year giving, please know that St. Christopher Parish gratefully accepts a variety of direct contributions to help you reach your philanthropic goals.

These types of gifts are often donated at no cost but require some planning.

Stocks, bonds, & mutual funds

If you or your family have held a stock, bond, or mutual fund for more than one year, these publicly traded securities can be transferred to the St. Christopher Parish as a gift. A gift of securities allows you or your family to avoid the capital gains taxes that you would normally pay, while allowing you to deduct their value from your annual income tax. Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds can be cash wired, transferred electronically, or donated as a certificate.

Closely held stock

If you hold stock in a closely held business (such as a majority shareholder), you may be able to donate this stock to support the St. Christopher Parish. Like other types of securities, these gifts allow you to avoid the capital gains taxes on the shares you contribute and allow you to deduct their value from your federal income tax.

Real estate

Do you own property that you no longer wish to manage or maintain? A gift of residential, commercial, or undeveloped real estate can offer a substantial tax savings for you and your family, while providing significant support to St. Christopher Parish. Please contact the Parish office at (215) 673-5177 or email info@stchrisparish.org, to discuss your intentions and receive more information about gifts of real estate.

We have special ways of recognizing larger pledges. Call Deacon Jim to discuss the possibilities. Please also remember St. Christopher in your end of year giving decisions. If you would like to know more about the projects or find out how to get involved; please click the button below:

A message to St. Christopher Parish

As pandemic restrictions continue to lift, we’d like to invite you to come home to the in-person celebration of Mass. All of us know instinctively that nothing compares to "being there" in person. Whether it's being at a friend's wedding, sitting down to have a heart-to-heart conversation, comforting a family member while she is grieving or watching as your baby takes his first steps, we all know that being physically present makes all the difference.

With God, the same logic applies, in fact, even more so. At every Mass, Jesus Christ encounters and saves us in the flesh, through in-person presence, both His and ours. When it comes to the Mass, truly, nothing compares to being there. As the pandemic winds down, let this also be a time of restoration for your faith.

Come to Mass in person to experience anew all that God wants give, the peace, joy and help that flows into our lives because of our participation at Mass. If there is anything we can do to help you make your way back, please let us know. We look forward to seeing you soon!
