FATHER BERNIE PALKA, S.A. (above) greets a
newcomer to St. Christopher’s Inn. From the
moment a man walks through the doors, he
is seen as a “Brother Christopher”—as a person
worthy of dignity and respect.
THE ST. CHRISTOPHER’S INN CHOIR (left) prays
together before Mass. The choir sings at the
weekly Masses and is composed of residents
of all faiths who are in recovery. “I am singing
for my life,” a choir member once told the St.
Christopher’s staff.
