Wailing Wall

Saint Christine’s Wailing Wall or prayer wall is located near the tabernacle and the Children’s Room. You are invited to write your prayer petition on the cards provided and place it on the wall so that our parishioners can pray for your specific intention. You are also asked to take home a prayer petition from the wall and offer prayers for your fellow parishioners. The Wailing Wall represents a place where we as a parish come together to pray.

COMMUNITY FOOD SUPPORT PROGRAM
Our Family Ministry became aware of some families in our community facing challenging times and we would like to help them via a Meal Support Program. For instance, there is a young mother with a husband and two children who is fighting cancer and has been placed in Hospice. There are three children who are being raised by their great grandmother because their mother and grandmother have passed away. This program would show kindness and support to families that are suffering or facing difficult challengers. We would like to deliver one meal each week to these families to lessen their cross. To proceed, we need parishioners to commit to providing one meal month. Meals could be cooked at home, restaurant take out or restaurant gift cards. If you can help in any way, please call Dana at 617-270-6054.
