On July 12 at 7PM, Deacon Matt will begin a 3 part adult formation series on prayer. In the first session of the series, we will learn about praying with the scriptures using the time-honored Catholic tradition of Lectio Divina. After a brief discussion of where it comes from, we will dive in to how we can each do Lectio Divina ourselves. Bring a Bible if you have one! The other sessions will cover the Examen Prayer (July 26) and Praying with the Psalms (August 9).
Building the Domestic Church
A study group, formed by Christ the King's Knights of Columbus, open to everyone in the parish, begins July 10. We will study the booklet, "Into the Breach" by the Most Rev. Thomas J. Olmstead, Bishop of Phoenix, AZ.Booklets are available through the council, and are free! Sign up for the study group by calling Adam Henderson at (316) 304-5721.
Please join us for this 4 week series at 7:00pm in Charity Hall on Tuesday evenings, beginning July 10.

Many employers offer matching gift programs and will match an employee's charitable gift. Below is a small list of known matching gifts companies, but there are many more out there!
If you work for a company that will match a donation, contact your HR Representative and request a matching gift form. Then fill out the form and submit it to the parish office with your gift. We will take care of the rest!
