Santo Christo Parish

About this church

Santo Christo Parish in Fall River is a Roman Catholic parish established in 1892 that serves the Portuguese-speaking community and is the oldest existing Luso-American parish in the Diocese of Fall River. The Sunday schedule includes a Saturday vigil at 4 p.m. in Portuguese and Sunday Masses at 8 a.m. (Portuguese), 10 a.m. (English), and 12 noon (Portuguese). A summer schedule, running from the Sunday after Pentecost through Labor Day, moves Sunday Masses to 8 a.m. (Portuguese), 9:30 a.m. (English), and 11 a.m. (Portuguese). Weekday Mass is held in the chapel at 8 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, in Portuguese.

Confession is offered Saturdays from 3:00 to 3:45 p.m. in the church and Tuesdays from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the chapel alongside Eucharistic Adoration, in Portuguese and English. The parish prays the Sacred Liturgy and devotions in Portuguese and English, with occasional Latin. Faith formation classes are taught in English, and many catechists are bilingual so they can help students and parents who speak limited English. The parish office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. An annual parish feast is a notable event, and holy day schedules are announced in the weekly bulletin, so confirm times on the parish website.
