YEAR OF SUNDAY MASS

YEAR OF FAITH

 

Year of Sunday Mass

(July 2012 - July 2013)

 

The second year will focus on educating Catholics on the critical importance of Sunday Mass attendance and encouraging reflection on the Mass to foster a deeper appreciation and appropriation of the value of the Eucharist. This year may include but is by no means limited to some of the following elements:

  • Educating parishioners frequently about the importance of Sunday Mass through homilies, bulletin articles, and other parish forums
  • Providing seminars and forums that invite parishioners to a better understanding and appreciation of the liturgy
  • Reaching out in the community to Catholics who attend Sunday Mass, but not on a weekly basis
  • These efforts would be accompanied by a raising of vocational awareness in and through the celebration of the Eucharist. Additionally, the linkage between social justice and Eucharistic celebration would be underscored

CK LogoAs pastor of Christ the King Catholic Parish, I warmly welcome you to our parish website, and invite you to find in its pages a glimpse of the abundant life and faith of our parish community.

For more than 75 years, our parish has been rooted in the beautiful neighborhood of Beverly Hills on the southwest side of Chicago. Our parish is active, friendly, and blessed with a wonderful spirit of belonging and hospitality. We are home to a wide spectrum of activities, ministries, organizations, and opportunities to grow in the knowledge and love of God. Christ the King Parish welcomes everyone to share their gifts and talents in the service of the larger community.

If you are new to Christ the King Parish, we hope you will find our church to be a joyful place to worship God. If you are looking for an excellent Catholic education for your child, we invite you to consider Christ the King Catholic School and explore the information within this web site. In addition, if you are a long-time parishioner, I encourage you to delve into these pages, and become even more aware and involved in our parish life.

God has been good to Christ the King Parish throughout the years. However, there is much yet to accomplish if the Kingdom of God is to be thrive in this place. The people of Christ the King Parish have remarkable energy, faith, perseverance, and hope. We take seriously the challenge of what our Lord Jesus Christ to be His family, and to live and proclaim the Good News. Today we will seek to build our future upon the dreams and accomplishments of those who, many years ago, founded Christ the King Parish. We pledge to share their vision and spirit with the next generation of believers.
