Last evening, several hundred Parishioners attended Father DiGregorio's opening talk! Tonight starting at 7:00 PM in Church, Father will continue by helping us reflect on the awesome power of the gift of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, specifically how forgiveness and reconciliation are permanent characteristics of discipleship, for personal and communal growth. Following his talk tonight, 8 guest priests will join Father Joe and Father Steve in offering us the opportunity to experience Jesus' mercy in the great Sacrament.

Please consider joining us tonight, whether you were with us last evening or not. It will prove to be an hour (or so) of time well spent!

Tomorrow, Wednesday, we will conclude with the celebration of Mass at 7:00 PM, during which Father will focus on how the Eucharist expresses and celebrates our vocation, identity and mission as believers and disciples. 

Fr. Michael DiGregorio, OSA is the Provincial of the local Augustinians and is a sought-after preacher.  He does just a couple of Parish Missions per year, so we are fortunate that Fr. Joe was able to encourage him to come to St. Christopher.  

Many people today think of themselves as spiritual, but far fewer consider themselves religious, in the sense of belonging to, or participating in, the life of the Church. But Jesus did not intend for us to be spiritual lone rangers. He called people together, and desired that in and through the community which we call Church, we might find support, companionship, example and even helpful challenges, in living our faith day after day.
