The Christophers were founded in 1945 by Maryknoll priest Father James Keller who saw there was a need for people of all faiths to engage in constructive action based on gospel values.  Fr. Keller believed there were too many people who complained about what was wrong with the world but not enough who took the initiative to make it better.  A pioneer in the media field, he used print, radio, television, film, and personal appearances to spread the word. Today, that mission continues through Christopher News Notes, “Three Minutes a Day” books, the “Christopher Closeup” radio show, podcast and blog, the Christopher Awards, video messages from best-selling author and commentator Father Jonathan Morris, and many other ministries.
