The Gift of Music concerts at Saint Christopher's Episcopal Church feature musicians from around the Twin Cities in our newly-renovated Sanctuary. Music is an important part of our lives here at Saint Christopher's. In the Series' third season we once again open our sanctuary to you and Twin Cities musicians and invite you to share our love of music. Come and join us for these concerts throughout the year. And, if you are seeking a spiritual home, we warmly welcome you to join us for choral Eucharist on Sunday mornings at 10:30.

Festival of Lessons and Carols Sunday December 8th 4:00PM

Angel with trumpet

Saint Christopher's musicians of all ages tell the ancient story of the Christ Child in scripture, medieval music and pageantry. These are great tunes but not familiar to many people. Here's your chance to hear some Christmas music different from the usual round, with Middle English and recorders and drones thrown in for good measure! Music Director Karla Cole will present "Christmas in the Middle Ages" at Adult Forum Sunday November 24th at 9:00AM in the Chapel if you'd like a preview and introduction to the sort of music you'll hear in the Festival. It's easy to think that olde musick is going to be academic and dry and dusty; in fact, it can be by turns glorious and transcendental and rollicking and rambustious! What a great word! Come find out what it means on Sunday.


Andrew Barrett, tenor Friday February 7th 2014 7:00PM

Schubert's Die Schöne Müllerin, The Beautiful Maid at the Mill, a journey of innocence and hope thwarted by unrequited love and tragedy.




Where is Saint Christopher's?

Back to top

Where are we? Well, that's a big question in life, isn't it? In our particular case, we are located at the intersection of Hamline Avenue and Highway 36 in Roseville. In fact, we're contained in the loop of the on/off ramp for westbound Highway 36. This makes us very findable and accessible, as you can see on the map below.
