Fr. George commends our parish for already complying with the executive order issued by Mayor Vanessa Fleisch on March 25th, effective March 26th. Again, our church is closed to worshipers except for the four persons assisting Fr. George with church services. Please stay at home, wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your face, nose, or eyes, practice social distancing, and avoid coming in contact with those infected. Please pray for those afflicted with the virus, our health care workers and emergency responders, our researchers, and those keeping us stocked with medicines and groceries.
While the maximum limit in attendance without a fine is 10, Fr. George changed the number of persons in attendance to no more than 5 before the Mayor's Executive Order. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you, Mayor, and know we support your efforts. We actually are limiting those at our services on-site to no more than 5. We’ve been doing this for the past few days. We are preparing to live stream to keep our faithful connected. Stay strong and well. On behalf of St. Christopher Church, I want you to know we are lifting you and our civil leaders and workers up in prayer. God be with you always.
