WHO MAKE
ST. CHRISTOPHER'S SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT TO WORSHIP
Father Bob Gaudio-
Father joined us in February 2004. He has been in the priesthood for 30 plus years. His warm and friendly smile greets all who enter our church. There are always many comments on how welcoming the church is. This is due in large part to Father's attitude. Father's greeting can't help but make you smile when we enter the church.
