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.

Young Adult Minister- Anne Cilano
Although Anne is new to St. Christopher's and church ministry, she is passionate about helping young adults here create a place for themselves in the Catholic Church. She has spent the past five years working in education, but her favorite classroom is the church community. Back in her undergraduate days, the Newman Community at the U of R taught Anne how to take her childhood faith into adulthood, and other life lessons. St. Christopher's, she believes, is an amazing place to be both a student and a teacher of faith, life, and family. At home, Anne is a loyal friend, a proud aunt of eight, and a huge geek.
