Effective November 25, 2020, we reverted back to Phase 2 until December 23. We can now celebrate public Mass with 75% occupancy of our church, which means 450 people will be able to attend Mass at a time. Masks and six-feet social distancing are required. We will resume our regular Mass schedule, but shall continue to record the 4 p.m. Mass on Saturdays for the benefit of those who cannot physically attend Mass.
For now, the people of the Archdiocese are dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. If someone is vulnerable and not feeling well, out of charity, they should not celebrate Mass in church with others. Masks must be worn. Communion on the tongue is not encouraged. The sign of peace can be given by bowing or waving. As people depart from Mass, social distancing must be observed. The 75% church occupancy applies to Baptisms, weddings, and funerals as well.
Please view the video of Mass for this weekend on the St. Christopher Church YouTube channel featured below and continue to
check back with us for future homilies, meditations, and Rosaries that will be offered.
Each month, the Knights of Columbus present this award to recognize a deserving family for their outstanding contributions to St. Christopher Parish and School. The John and Joni Bernius Family has been selected as the January 2021 Family of the Month.
John is a 3rd-degree Knight with St. Christopher Knights of Columbus and also a 4th-degree Knight with Bishop Greco Assembly and serves as an Honor Guard. He has attended many funerals for babies who were aborted and has delivered baby caskets to funeral homes around the state, assisting the Monday Night Disciples. He also participates in the Knights on Bikes and serves as the New Orleans Diocese South Shore Vice President. John served our community with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office for 31 years and continues in retirement to volunteer at the Westwego Police Department, sharing his knowledge and experience.
Joanie volunteers her time at St. Christopher with the money count, is a Eucharistic Minister, and serves weekly in the Adoration Chapel. She has served on various committees whenever her assistance has been needed in the Parish and has assisted patients at Notre Dame Hospice in the past.
John and Joanie have been married for 34 years. Their son, John, age 28, graduated from St. Christopher School, Archbishop Rummel, and Franciscan University in Ohio.
We are so grateful for the Berniuses’ tireless commitment to serving God within our parish and thank them for sharing their love and faith. May God richly bless them!
