Community
- Mission Statement:
  
  Christ the King Parish, through our communal faith in God, seeks to do the will of our Heavenly Father by modeling Christ in service to others by the grace of the Holy Spirit.
  
  Below are the many ways we as a Parish community are to be a light of the world by living and proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel.
Ladies guild
- Christ the King Ladies Guild welcomes all women of the parish. The mission of the guild is to promote spiritual growth of the women in our parish, to seek out the needs of the parish and to develop a program to meet those needs and provide service/financial support as needed to the parish and community.
  
  'Circles' of five groups have been organized from our singles and married with no children Circle # 1 (18-30ish) up to our Wise and Wonderful Circle # 5 (Ladies age 60ish+). Click below to learn more.

- School Visioning commitTee
  
  The School Visioning Committee (SVC) – in addition to four ex-officio members composed of our Principal, Stewardship & Mission Development Coordinator, and the two parish Priests – is made up of eight appointed parishioners currently active at Christ the King. This committee is an advisory committee to the pastor and is charged to:
  
  1) Comprehensively summarize the relationship between the parish and the school.
  2) Identify and analyze the school’s current and future needs
  3) Suggest to the pastor an action plan to address the needs identified in #2 above, within the framework of the parish
  
  SVC meetings are closed and attendance outside the committee membership is by invitation only.

Wise and wonderful
- Recognizing the need for senior activities at Christ the King, a senior group call the “Wise and Wonderful” has been created. The main objective of this group is to offer friendship, fellowship, and support to our members. We seek to do this through social, religious, and community activities several times a year. Annual dues are $10 and this includes discounted rates for our events. There is a committee that meets from time to time to plan events and consider new ideas.

Educational Trust board
- The Christ the King Educational Trust is managed by a Board of Trustees with endowed assets of $5.7 million. In addition to interest earned, many additional funds are generated from donations, estate gifts and annual fundraisers such as SPICE.
  
  The long term goal is to grow the Trust to $15 million in order to pay one third of the operating budget of the school through interest earned. This should serve to secure the financial future of Christ the King school and enable the parish to use more of its budget on other parish needs.
