Parish Support
-
We need your support now more than ever. We still have to pay our teachers and employees their paychecks and to pay our bills. We are a charity and operate completely based on your generosity. Sunday offerings make up a huge part of our income. With no one physically present at Masses for weeks to come, our donations could plummet but I don’t believe they will because of you, your goodness, and your generosity. I believe that you will not let that happen to your parish and school. Our cash flow is extremely tight. Please mail in your offering; drop it by the Rectory office (or slide it under the Rectory door); click here donate digitally; or, easiest for you, move your tithing to an Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) from your bank – a simple phone call with Rick Kucirek, our Financial Director, at (402) 391-3606 ext. 212 can help make that happen.

Blessing of Holy Water for the Parish
-
While they last, there are still plenty of free holy water bottles filled with holy water that are available, one per household, on the table outside the Rectory. Holy water is a source of protection from evil spiritual forces AND disease and contagion. You and your loved ones can dip your fingers into it and make the sign of the cross over yourself and/or sprinkle it on others or around your house itself to bless it. If you run out of holy water, simply return to the Rectory anytime, day or night, and refill your bottle from the spigot of the large, silver tank next to the Rectory door. Please CLICK HERE to watch an explanation about holy water and to see how it’s blessed. The rosary, holy images, religious medals, crucifixes, the scapular, and holy water are among the many sacramentals the Church offers to us, especially at these times. May the Lord keep you holy, safe and healthy in these days.

Stations of the Cross

Even though we cannot have parishioners participate in person for Stations of the Cross, you can certainly join us online from the safety of your homes to journey through the Cross. Check out the above video of our Stations of the Cross. You can also download a booklet (see the PDF below) that you can follow along with the Stations. The Stations and booklet are primarily for our school children, but we encourage all of our parish community to participate every Friday.

Time with Jesus
-
While we cannot spend an hour with Jesus at Mass each Sunday, that doesn’t stop us from giving that hour to Christ every week through Eucharistic Adoration. To adore someone is to love him or her; to engage in Eucharistic Adoration is the same: We spend prayer time before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle. Our church and our Adoration Chapel (located on the north side of the church) are still open for prayer (though we need to make sure there are not more than 10 people at any one time and that people are seated 6 feet apart). You can pray in either location. If you are moved to spend an hour with Jesus each week, consider adopting a specific, recurring hour on a recurring day of the week. Visit https://tinyurl.com/ctkadoration to sign up for such an hour (or a portion of an hour) here at Christ the King. If you are already committed to such an hour every week, please still click on the link, too, and enter that information. Such a pledge to a specific hour need not be an endless commitment but it is a concrete way we can still give an hour a week to the Lord in praise, gratitude and love.

Cleaning Help
-
With the threat of the spread of COVID-19, we have added additional sanitizing duties around the church campus and are seeking additional volunteers to help.
In these times we realize how blessed we are to have our beautiful Church and Adoration Chapel to come to. To pray and find comfort.
Please help us to keep it safe for all. If you have an hour in the evening to give, please contact Tita Jones by email : Titayb@aol.com or by phone (925) 899-5502.

Volunteers Needed
-
Do you have a heart for others and the gift of gab? We NEED you! We are putting together a calling tree of 40 volunteers to each reach out weekly to several of our Christ the King senior citizens. We want them to know that we are thinking of and praying for them; ask them to pray for us; make sure they are doing well and have everything they need; are receiving all of the Christ the King news and updates; know that our recorded daily Mass can be found online; and simply have a friend with whom they can talk. Many of our seniors have laid the foundation to make Christ the King the holy, beautiful parish that it is today. What a beautiful way, however small, to thank them during this difficult time.
Please contact Nancy McNulty to volunteer and/or if you know someone who would like to be put on our list of people to call.
