NEW PASTOR ANNOUNCEMENT - FR. RYAN BRADY
 

MARCH 10, 2024

Dear Parish Family of St. Christina,

We have some important news to share with you today.

Cardinal Cupich has appointed Rev. Ryan Brady as our new administrator, effective July 1st.

Fr. Ryan is currently the associate pastor at Our Lady of the Ridge - St. Linus Parish in Oak Lawn and Chicago Ridge.

We look forward to Fr. Ryan joining our parish family and community on July 1st.

Let keep Fr. Ryan and each other, in prayer, as we go through this period of transition together.

St. Christina Pray for Us.

We also have a short message from Fr. Ryan that he would like us to share with you this weekend:

I am absolutely elated to ‘come home’ to St. Christina as your administrator and pastor! It was here, in the second to last pew at 8:30 am Mass with my grandparents, that I first felt called to the priesthood.

I started seminary very young, then stopped. But there was always something calling me in the back of my mind.

When I turned 30, I began focusing more on my faith, and every Sunday, 5 pm, you’d find me right here at St. Christina! And by 33 years old, I was back in seminary! At St. Christina, I realized that Jesus Christ was calling me to be his priest.

And now, I’m ‘coming home’ again. There are so many things we can and will do in the years to come to give glory to our families, to our School, to our Parish, and to God.

Let’s pray that, in this time, we become saints together! Pray for me! I need it. And be assured of my prayers for you!

Fr. Ryan Brady
