GRAND ANNUAL COLLECTION 2022
Goal: $170,000 | Total Received: $ 70,367
Our Grand Annual Collection is now underway. Funds from this collection help to pay our weekly bills. Your Grand Annual envelopes may be placed in the collections baskets or mailed directly to the rectory throughout the year. Each family is asked to contribute $400. However, what one gives is your choice and no one should give beyond their means. Envelopes are on the ushers’ tables. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Please Read this Letter from Fr. Mario Concerning the 2022 Grand Annual Collection

Are you aware that our parish participated in the worldwide Synod questionnaire? Our parish is using this feedback from our parishioners to begin making positive changes. One particular statement from the Synod provided feedback that can impact Saint Christine’s Parish.

“There is nothing being done to inspire new people to join the parish and others to come back.”
We can help impact this but we need input from you. PLEASE consider being a part of the solution with one simple reply to the following questions.

1. What is the best time and day of the week to meet?
2. What activities (service, prayer and social) motivates you to participate and encourage others to join as well?

Please email your reply and any other suggestions to Jeanne Dominick at mjsdmed@aol.com or Norm Shacochis at normshac@verizon.net. If you have any questions, please call Jeanne at 781-267-4511. or Norm Shacochis at normshac@verizon.net. If you have any questions, please call Jeanne at 781-267-4511.

Please consider joining them at their next meeting at Saint Christine’s on Tuesday, August 16th at 7:00 pm in the parish hall to see how you can make a difference in the lives of others and to help our neighbors in need.
