St. Christopher's Church

Our second annual Reconciliation Monday will take place on Monday, April 3rd from 3 until 8 p.m. Not only will we have confession here in our church during that time, but all parishes in the diocese will be holding confessions. So if it is more convenient for you to go to another church closer to work, feel free to do so. Please invite those friends and family members who have been away from the Sacraments to take advantage of this opportunity. Visit cdow.org/ReconciliationMonday for more information.

Note: There will be no regular reconciliation at St. Christopher’s on Holy Saturday.
