Pizza and a Movie: Encanto!
What gift has God given you? Encanto is a movie about unique gifts given to each member of a family, but it seems one member had no such gift to celebrate, until her very special gift was needed. Tuesday, November 19, 5:30 p.m. Bring a gift for the Food Pantry! Bring Friends! Bring your own wine or beer! Let’s Have Some Fun! Sign up online here or sign up at the parish office and and tell us your favorite pizza!

Attention: St. Christopher’s Elves!
Last year, Pat Vreeland and the Chatham Children’s Fund helped many local families. St. Christopher’s family was extremely generous with supplying gift cards for those in need. This year, we find that the number of needy families has increased. It is my hope that our church community will once again respond generously. I am asking anyone who wishes to help, to please purchase gift cards from the following: (a $20 minimum would be nice): Amazon, Kohl’s, Visa, TJMax, Old Navy, and Target. Pat and her group of elves are all set to shop for much-needed clothing, along with special wishlist items for each child. Thank you in advance for making the holidays more enjoyable. Pat asked for all cards to be delivered by November 3. Please mail your gift cards to: Martha Miller; 242 Old Comers Rd.; Chatham, MA 02633, or you may drop your sealed envelope into the Children’s Fund Christmas box located near the church front entrance. Please include your name inside, along with your gift cards.
