PARISHES IN THE FALL RIVER

DIOCESE 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.
