As parish activities continue to pick up this month, you'll notice we have a lot of new opportunities to give of our time, talent, and treasure. As always, thank you for your abundant generosity!
Franciscan Missionary Appeal
This year, a Franciscan missionary, Fr. Bernardo Moya, OFM was asked to visit our parish. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has prevented him from coming. However, Fr. Bernardo has sent us a one-page summary of an amazing project his order is undertaking in India. Please take a moment to read more about his work here:
If you are able to support the Franciscans in their missionary activity, Fr. Bernardo would be extremely grateful. There are a few ways to donate: You can pick up a missionary appeal envelope near the entrances at church or send in a check to Christ the King and write “missions” in the Memo. You can also donate on Christ the King's giving page by selecting the "Missionary Appeal - Franciscan Missions" fund:

We will be accepting those donations through the end of the month and sending them to India.
