Sharing Holy Communion joins us more closely with Jesus Christ and with all the members of His church. We are made one with Jesus and with each other. Preparation for First Holy Communion is a 2-year process. Children are required to have attended Catholic School or a Parish Religious Education Program for two consecutive years before they make their First Communion.

Christ the King Capital Campaign Fr. Brian A letter from I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, With great joy and excitement, I am happy to be a part of the Our Church, Our Future campaign that we began here at our Parish. One of the major responsibilities I have as shepherd of this parish is to faithfully and prayerfully oversee our home, our place of worship. Please join me in praying for the Holy Spirit to guide us as we plan to ensure that Christ the King parish is around to serve the needs of parishioners for many years to come. Our children and grandchildren will learn from the example we set today. Now is an exciting time for our parish as we continue our journey, building upon the faith of all those who came before us. As we begin our Campaign, we are now called to the same commitment and willingness our founding families witnessed by working tirelessly for the great glory and honor of God. In this brochure, you will read about the plans for repair, renovations, and beautification of our church. This endeavor is much more than simply a building project; it is an essential part of the parish mission to nurture the growth of all through worship, education, and service.I invite you to join me as we enter the next chapter of our parish journey. Your support of this campaign is vital, as this project cannot happen without the participation of each person in the parish. This is a great challenge and will entail sacrifices from all of us. With equal sacrifice by each and every parishioner, we can make our dream a reality. Yours in Christ, Fr. Brian Cundall Pastor Our Church , Our Future Capital Campaign Our Church , Our Future Capital Campaign Our Church , Our Future Capital Campaign Our Church , Our Future Capital Campaign Overall Campaign Goal $3,000,000 Overall Campaign Goal $3,000,000 Overall Campaign Goal $3,000,000 Overall Campaign Goal $3,000,000 1/4 In the Spring of 2024, Christ the King conducted a planning study to explore the possibility of addressing several current and future needs of the parish and school. Many parishioners gave their feedback on these projects and discussed their willingness to support them. After reviewing the results of the planning study, the parish has decided to move forward with the renovation and beautification of the existing church building and the addition of a second columbarium opposite the existing columbarium. This 3-year capital campaign seeks to raise $3 million to address these vital needs. We hope that every parishioner of Christ the King will be a part of our capital campaign to begin meeting the needs of our current and future community, and thus to further Christ’s mission! Our Need | Our Need | Our Need | Our Need | Capital Campaign Components Roof & Exterior Roof & Exterior Roof & Exterior Roof & Exterior The existing roof and exterior panels are old and in need of repair and improvement. The church currently has a ballasted roof which will be entirely replaced. The new roof will have a shallow slope sufficient to improve drainage and mitigate future damage. The exterior panels will be replaced with a newer and more beautiful design and the remaining structure will be repainted. Interior Beautification Interior Beautification Interior Beautification Interior Beautification Although the church has a number of beautiful features inside, we have a lot of room for improvement compared to our sister parishes. Beauty uplifts the soul towards Heaven and the need for a greater commitment to this virtue has been felt especially when members of our Catholic community are deciding where to receive their sacraments. The beautification of the church interior will include new flooring, refinished or new pews, new paint to better match the iconography of the church, and a new domed ceiling (accommodated by the roof renovations) with a starscape to draw the eyes upwards and in to the heavenly icon in the sanctuary. Columbarium Columbarium Columbarium Columbarium The current columbarium is nearly full. The Church plays a vital role in the last rites of the faithful. Having a place for those laid to rest where family can visit helps the faithful find hope and comfort amidst grief. The new columbarium will be built in a similar position on the opposite side of the church from the existing one. However, the new columbarium system will be more efficient, allowing space for approximately twice as many niches and giving us room to serve our community in this important way for many years to come. Interior Repair Interior Repair Interior Repair Interior Repair Besides general aesthetic improvements, the church also has significant maintenance needs. The HVAC system will be entirely replaced with a newer and better system. The current ceiling is damaged and in need of repair as well and we will take advantage of the opportunity to replace the ceiling and install new lighting to enhance the beauty of the church.
