Our parish is currently undergoing an incredible season of transformation. The Holy Spirit continues to bless us with abundant grace, and our parish family—as disciples of our Lord Jesus—continually bears good fruit through the loving support of our numerous volunteers.

Our community continues to provide a welcoming, family atmosphere for the faithful who worship and celebrate the sacraments with us.

If you can, try to add up the number of hours offered by members of our parish family to welcome newcomers, proclaim the scriptures in word and song, serve at the liturgies, and assist with the distribution of Holy Communion.

Then, consider those who generously give their time and talent as catechists to assist in religious education . And, of course, we must recognize the behind-the-scenes folks who maintain our parish campus inside and out, help with day-to-day office needs, and never say ‘no’ when a need arises.

Prayer and a generous spirit are the engines behind it all. Through prayer and the gifts of the Holy Spirit, we are able to further our mission to "proclaim, witness and share the Good News of Jesus Christ."

As we strive to be disciples, good stewardship is a disciple’s response. Stewardship is about doing the work of Christ, engaging our many resources to further His ministry and the mission of the Church. Thank you for your generosity and your sacrificial giving to the offertory collection.

Our parish’s future success depends on your generosity. North Marana is growing rapidly, and we must grow as well to serve Christ’s purposes in this mission territory. We have a responsibility to be a beacon of hope and light in our community. With programming, staffing, services, and new facilities to welcome and grow new disciples, we must become the light that shines atop a hill, rather than under a basket.

With this in mind, I invite you to continue responding to our “New Beginnings + New Promises in Christ” Program . Our goal is a simple one: to substantially increase our Sunday offertory contributions. My hope is for a 30% increase in your giving, if you are able. Your financial support will further our ministries and reinforce our future.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and commitment to St. Christopher Catholic Parish!

With Peace and Prayers,
Father Edson Elizarrarás
