About the Christ the King Liturgy
 At Christ the King Parish we encourage active participation
from all members of our parish. A broad variety of ministry allows everyone
to be involved. We welcome all who come to celebrate with us. Please take
the time to consider where your time and talents can be shared with your
community.
On a typical Sunday thirty-seven individuals are actively
involved in specific liturgical ministries, not including the choir. Some
are highly visible, others less so, there are opportunities for all. For
more information about any of the ministries at Christ the King please
call the parish office (728-3845) to request a ministries description booklet.
