== Overview ==
According to a note found in the church, the pastor was Father Francis McGill. He was withdrawn by the Archdiocese due to a lack of activity; however, church services and Latin lessons continued over Skype. A [[Hymnal]] can be found in the church with the lyrics to the hymn ''[[Wikipedia:Dies Irae|Dies Irae]]'' ("Day of Wrath") in both Latin and English.

The church appears to have served as a shelter to someone recently, as there are a few supplies, a makeshift bed, and the remnants of a [[Campfire]] on the floor (allowing the player to light a fire indoors), be careful NOT to deconstruct it as you can not replace the campfire.

Although the church can serve as a base with its bed, nearby rabbit grove, and indoor fireplace, the roof has several holes in it, so it isn't a particularly cozy location to live in. Storage is also limited, and wolves may be a minor hazard when coming and going. [[Milton House (Grey Mother's)]] just down the road is generally a better base location, with its six-burner stove and abundant storage containers.
==Trivia==

*"St. Christopher" is a real-world Christian saint, and is the patron saint of traveling and athletics.
*The [[Graveyard]] of St. Christopher's Church is the resting place of [[Lilith Barker|Lilith "Lilly" Barker]], as well as many developer names on tombstones.
*From the number of deaths in 1919, Milton's history as a coal mining town, and it's current state of decline, it is implied there was a major mining accident. Considering Great Bear Island's seismic activity, this was likely a tunnel collapse.
*St. Christopher's Church is a Catholic church.
*St. Christopher's Church was founded after 1911 and closed before [[First Flare|The First Flare]] with it's remaining members moving to online worship sessions instead, due to declining membership from the town of Milton (as detailed in [[Buffer Memories]] and Notes). This suggests that Milton was markedly less populous than Thompson's Crossing.
*St Christopher's Church is one of three churches on [[Great Bear Island]]; the other two being the [[Stone Church]] of [[Desolation Point]], and the Catholic or Episcopal church of [[Thomson's Crossing|Thompson's Crossing]].
* ''[[Wikipedia:Dies Irae|Dies Irae]]'' is a Latin hymn dating to the 13th century at the latest. It has been used in music, religion, and popular culture for centuries to symbolize death.
