First Week of Advent - On The Watch

As the season of Advent begins we are called together as the People of God to prepare a space in our lives for the Messiah to be born into and take root. Over the next four weeks we will share with you a series of prayers and reflections for each week of this very special beginning to the Liturgical cycle of our Church. Portions of these prayers and reflections will be used at our Sunday celebrations throughout Advent and they have been made available in our parish entrances for people to use at home. In sharing these prayers you are joining together with our entire parish community in centering our hearts and souls on the Good News that this...

Why not treat yourself to an evening of calm, quiet and reflection on those ways God is calling you to find comfort and peace in Him?

CTK Updates - Week of November 14, 2010 - 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Peace and Blessings to You All,I have to say, it was very nice to hear Father Antony thank, and recognize the new influx of altar servers at the Sunday Mass this past weekend. All, in all we have been quite blessed at having new people enter into various ministries that haven't done so before. God is indeed working well, and deeply within our parish community. One challenge that we have had is in finding people who are willing and able to serve in different areas and/or on more than a single weekend in a month. I know it sounds funny, but you would almost think people don't gather to celebrate the Lord's Supper with our family here at CTK on...

CTK Updates - Week of November 7, 2010 - 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Greetings And the Blessings of Christ Be With You! We finally did it! We have at long last had our new pastor, Father Sathiadas Antony properly and duly installed. The instructions were printed up-side down, they were all in Swedish and a few screws were loose, but we managed to 'git-er-done' with relatively few bumps and scratches. As we were unpacking the rest of his parts, just prior to Mass, we did find the following odd scrap of paper. It seems to be all that remains of the original, English instructions that came with this particular model. Still, the information it contains is quite pertinent and so I...

CTK Updates - Week of October 31, 2010 - 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Happy Halloween Hangover! As you and your goblins and ghouls are recovering from your sugar-rush headaches and the Halloween sniffles, here's a chance to sit back, relax for a bit, and get caught up on what's going on in our family of faith here at Christ the King. My story offering today comes to us from Leo Sofer once again. So often in our lives we feel as though we cannot possibly do all that God and our Church invites us to do. We struggle with the reality that our time, our gifts, our talents do not seem to be our own. Our jobs require us to do this or that, our families and their needs require that we...
