FALL RIVER

The Santo Christo Parish Community opens wide its doors to you. We hope that you feel at home and among family. Our wish is that you might feel your time among us prayerful, inspiring and uplifting. If you have been away from the Church for a time, we rejoice that you have decided to be with us today. If you are a separated or divorced Catholic, please know that you belong here, that you are and always will be a member of the Church family. If you are divorced and remarried, and wish to annul your first marriage, please ask the Parish Priest to explain the procedure to you.

Feeling a part of Church family is very important, and if you are interested in joining this parish community, we would be honored to support you in making that decision.

PARISH FEAST OF SANTO CRISTO

MESSAGE TO THE PARISH

God sent his only Son to the world to save - not to condem. Christ is the face and presence of

God on earth - along with his diciples.

This weekend, as our Parish Family gathers to celebrate our Parish Feast in honor of Jesus –

“Santo Christo” – we follow Him as Lord of our lives and Savior of the world. In His

suffering, Jesus opened His heart and His life as signs of His love. May the Feast be our

way of opening ourselves totally to Jesus as the Way, Truth and fullness of our lives. May

we behold the man: “Ecce Homo” and give Him praise and honor.
