Wishing you and your families a blessed Triduum and Easter!
"Truly, Jesus extends to us his power over sin and death. Christ, risen from the dead, is our constant companion, especially in the midst of temptation and trial. Let us be attentive to his presence and allow him to give us strength and hope in every circumstance of our life." - Fr. Schalk

We are inviting all parishioners to participate in this beautiful devotion.
Do you still have your Lenten Rice Bowls?

We have a new young adult Bible Study starting up!
Recent studies show that a majority of young adults stop practicing their faith by the time they leave college. If you or someone you know has been away from the church or is looking to explore questions about life and faith in a casual and welcoming environment, we invite you to join us for a new five week Bible study starting on Tuesday April 13th at 7pm. There's no requirement to be a parishioner of Christ the King or even be Catholic to attend. If you are interested in attending you can sign up here or if have questions, please contact Drew Snyder at dsnyder.ctk@gmail.com.
