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.

Lenten Regulations
Following are the regulations for abstinence and fasting to be observed by Catholics during Lent:
A fast and abstinence is prescribed for Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Fasting is observed by all Catholics between 18 and 59. Those bound by this may take only one full meal. Two smaller meals are permitted if necessary to maintain strength according to one's needs, but eating solid food between meals is not permitted.
Abstinence from meat is to be observed by all Catholics 14 years and older on all Fridays of Lent.
By the threefold discipline of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer, the Church keeps Lent from Ash Wednesday until the evening of Holy Thursday. All of the faithful and catechumens should undertake serious practice of these three traditions. Failure to observe penitential days totally or a substantial number of such days must be considered serious.
WINTER CHAPEL HOURS
From December 21, 2025 through February 28, 2026, the chapel will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and there will not be Exposition of the Sacrament.
EUCHARISTIC HOLY HOUR
Please join us for Holy Hour with Rosary and Benediction every second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in Church.
Since we are now in the season of Advent, take a break from the hustle and bustle of the season and join us as we prepare our hearts and lives to welcome the birth of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.
"Jesus is the Reason for the Season!"
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!
