Each year, St. Christopher Parish comes together in the true spirit of Christmas to bring hope and joy to families in need through our Christmas Assistance Ministry. This parish-wide endeavor supports more than 70 families — representing approximately 300 children — by helping provide gifts and essential items during the Christmas season.

Our outreach extends to families within our parish boundaries, neighboring parishes, and those served through the Catholic Charities Christmas Store. Through the generosity of parishioners, donors, and volunteers, we are able to ensure that children experience the joy and dignity of Christmas morning.

This ministry is a beautiful expression of our parish community living out the Gospel message — sharing Christ’s love in tangible ways during a season that can be especially difficult for families facing financial hardship.

If your family is in need of Christmas assistance, please contact the parish office in September to begin the confidential application process.

Together, we can make the light of Christ shine brightly in the lives of families throughout our community.
