Parishioners say goodbye to St. Christopher’s Catholic Church after 85 years

Parishioners young and old said goodbye to St. Christopher’s Catholic Church on Sunday. The church, which first opened in 1941 and has at the corner of Tireman and Woodmont since 1965, is closing down due to financial constraints and dwindling attendance. “It’s been, you know, 85 years in this in this neighborhood, we’ve done a lot of good,” Tom Stoltz, who has attended the church for more than 50 years, said. “For me, it’s like watching a loved one die slowly, and there’s nothing you can do.”
