St. Christopher the Martyr

We truly appreciate the sponsors of our Parish Fair.  Please support them with your business:

We are asking our SCS families and friends to start saving their empty eggshells for our upcoming fair.  Save your eggshells from breakfast or baking.  Just be sure to crack a bit off the top, not the middle.  The eggshell neeeds to be mostly intact.  Shake the egg out, rinse with warm water, and leave out to dry.  Empty shells can be brought to the Rectory office Monday-Friday, 9:00 to 4:00.  Thank you for your donations!

The second collection for October 1-2 is dedicated for repairs and maintenance.  Thank you for your generosity!

The Greater New Orleans Annual Rosary Congress will be held Saturday, October 1, through Friday, October 7, 2022, and will move to a different parish each day.  St. Christopher the Martyr Parish will host the Congress beginning with Mass at 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 2, 2022, continuing all night through Monday, October 3, with adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and the Rosary. and concluding with 7 p.m. Mass Monday evening.  Adoration will occur for the full 24 hours with the exception of Holy Mass. A minimum of two adorers are required at all times as per a request by Archbishop Aymond.  This year we especially invoke the intercession of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels, who is said to be coming with her Legion of Angels to save the Church. We will pray for life, reparation, and peace in our city, nation, and the world.  Additional information on the Rosary Congress and schedule of events will be posted in the bulletin and on social media.
