Bishop Christian was University Classmate and inspiring colleague. He was good humored, encouraging, faithful to the Church that IS not what some wish it was (as in past tense). He was an ecumenist and, above all, my friend. I shall miss him greatly. Very Rev. Msgr. Dennis L. Mikulanis, S.T.D., San Diego.

Bishop Christian ordaining deacon Andrew

What a blessing for our family to have the opportunity to visit with Bishop Christian while visiting our son Fr. Andy Opsahl O.P. at St. Alberts Priory. We had great conversations around the dinner table that we will forever cherish.
For him to ordain our son to the Diaconate last August and vest him during his priestly ordination this past May 31st was a gift from God. May his soul Rest In Peace.

To the Christian Family,

I send my deepest sympathy at the loss of your brother. May God give you strength during this difficult time.

Steve Vella

My sincere condolences for all the Christian Family and the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
Bishop Christian will be mourned and missed by many people all over the world.
