Under current Archdiocesan guidelines, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception this Tuesday, December 8, is not a holy day of obligation. A vigil Mass will be celebrated on Monday, December 7, at 5:30 PM. Our regular Mass schedule follows on Tuesday.
My friends in Christ,
Thank you again for your generosity to the iGiveCatholic campaign supporting the Compassion Kitchen Project. Between our parish and school communities, you’ve given over $48,000 to support local businesses and feed hungry families across Atlanta. More people supported this project than any other iGiveCatholic project in Atlanta. With your gifts, we'll be able to provide more than 1,900 meals this holiday season. I am grateful for your support of this project and all of our efforts at Christ the King.
Yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mc
Advent Penance Evenings
December 16 and 17, 5:00 PM-7:00 PM, in the Hyland Center.
Advent is a penitential season - a time when we prepare for the Lord to come by examining our consciences and turning towards the Lord. For the safety of our parish family and priests, this Advent, we’ll host two socially-distanced penance evenings. Priests will be stationed throughout the Hyland Center to hear confessions. Visitors will need to wear masks. Volunteers will help guide you to priests. For additional information, contact Bernadette Flowers at bflowers@ctking.com.
A note on Advent books
We customarily distribute a book of Advent meditations in the Gathering Space. COVID guidelines prevent us from distributing books this year. As an alternative, consider signing up for BestAdventEver.com, a series of daily video reflections.
