Tragically on the morning of Wednesday, January 19th, 2022, The Lousteau family (Stephen, Phoenix, and their two young daughters, Kynzie and Payton) passed away from a house fire. A GoFundMe has been created to collect funds to cover the family funeral expense and family plot. Any remaining funds will go to Nathan Lousteau, who is Stephen's oldest son, a student at Rummel High School. They were a young family and did not have life insurance to cover this tragedy. All the Lousteau children attended St. Christopher School. Please take a few minutes to check your smoke detectors and have your family and friends do the same. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers during this heartrending time.Read More

Read MoreEach month, the Knights of Columbus present this award to recognize a deserving family for their outstanding contributions to St. Christopher Parish and School. The Patrick and Krystal Simoneaux Family has been selected as the January 2022 Family of the Month.
Patrick is a dedicated member of St. Christopher Knights of Columbus Council 4508, currently serving as the Membership Director. He assisted the Grand Knight with livestreaming the Masses during the COVID lockdown. He has helped and devoted his time to many of the Knights of Columbus events, such as the ice cream socials, donut socials, membership drives, and the annual turkey bingo. As the Membership Director, Patrick hopes to illustrate his Catholic values as an example to draw in many more men to the Knights of Columbus.
Patrick’s wife, Krystal, has been a teacher in the Catholic school system for 11 years and instrumental in helping with various Knights of Columbus events. Patrick and Krystal are credited with creating the Turkey Bingo Super Raffle and helping to secure gift cards donated by various local restaurants. They have two boys, Blaise and Brennan, who attend Catholic school and are active in sports at Cleary Playground.
The entire Simoneaux Family has been generous with their time and talents and are the embodiment of Christian values. We are so grateful for the Simoneauxs’ tireless commitment to serving God within our parish and thank them for sharing their love and faith. May God richly bless them! -

We are in need of extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion and lectors. Participating in the liturgy in these roles involves a sharing of your faith, as you become an instrument by which the sacred Body of Christ is offered and His Word is proclaimed. Extraordinary ministers distribute Holy Communion at Mass and to the sick or homebound of our parish. "The General Instruction of the Roman Missal reminds us that when the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to His people, and Christ, present in His own word, proclaims the Gospel." Please consider an opportunity to serve the Lord and pray for His guidance. If you would like to learn more or feel called to serve in either of these capacities, please contact the Rectory (837-8214) or Millie Moore (885-3973, eom@stchristopherano.com).Read More
