WELCOME TO THE

MOTHER CHURCH

OF THE

PORTUGUESE PARISHES

IN THE DIOCESE OF

FALL RIVER

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.
