What's New
The St. Christina Website has been updated!
Technology is an asset for Catholic Parishes and St. Christina has decided to partner with our Bulletin printer, LPi, to revamp our website!
First and foremost, we'd like to thank our long-time Parish Webmaster, Hugo Lugo. Mr. Lugo dedicated almost 20 years to maintaining and updating the site for our Parish, well known as someone extraordinarily easy to work with and always going the extra mile. On behalf of all of St. Christina: Thank You, Hugo! We look forward to seeing where your next adventures will lead you!
Moving forward, we ask parishioners and St. Christina Auxiliary Group Leaders to email website@stchristinaparish.org for any website updates or information to be posted.

Order of the Christian Initiation into the Church
Life has many storms - distressful relationships, jobs, poor health; situations where we feel our powerlessness. If you know someone unbaptized, someone who never completed their Sacraments or was baptized in a non-Catholic Christian Tradition, who is searching for strength and understanding to weather such squalls, please invite them to seek the perspective the Catholic Church offers.
Please contact Pam Waldrom 773-779-7181 or at pwaldrom@archchicago.org. Classes begin Monday, September 21st.
Congratulations to Madelyn,
One of 14 OSF Art Contest Winners!
Congratulations to Madelyn Kozlowski, who was selected as the winner from St. Christina School in the 2026 OSF Little Company of Mary Medical Center “What Makes Me Healthy?” art contest.
This year, 14 local schools participated in the contest, with one student from each school chosen as a winner. Madelyn’s artwork was selected for its creativity, originality, and thoughtful interpretation of healthy living.
The winning artwork will be displayed at OSF Little Company of Mary Medical Center, where students, families, staff, and visitors can enjoy the exhibit. We are proud to recognize Madelyn for this achievement and thank all of the students who participated.
Congratulations on being one of this year’s 14 winners!
St. Christina Starts a New Tradition!
Bambinelli Sunday is a tradition in Italy for families to bring their Infant Jesus figure from their home Nativity scene to Mass on the Third Sunday of Advent. Fr. Ryan has brought this tradition all the way to Mt. Greenwood! The Sunday Masses of December 13 & 14, 2025 were an absolute blast!
No need to fret if you happened to miss the 2025 event, we'll bring it back in 2026. We hope to see you there!
