Christ The King Catholic Church

In our continued effort to invite our people to safely return to Mass in person and be present for the Eucharist, Bishop Walter Hurley writes to us with his personal invitation to "come home" to full Communion with our Father who brings us both hope and peace.

Bishop Hurley's Memo

On October 13th, Bishop Hurley published the "Modifications to COVID-19 Protocols for Liturgical Celebrations"
In these challenging times, we are committed to keeping our people safe and at the same time maintaining the best (near normal) liturgical practices that are possible under these circumstances.

• Capacity:  We are no longer limited to 25%.  Rather, we are allowed to admit the number we can safely accommodate while maintaining social distance.
• Sanitizing:  High touch surfaces are to be disinfected after each liturgy and hand sanitizer is available and used by all.
• Face Masks:  ARE REQUIRED for all the congregation.
• Music:  The proper parts of the Mass may be sung by all:  Psalm response; Alleluia Verse; the Holy, Holy; Eucharistic Acclamation; and Lamb of God.  The Gloria, Creed and Our Father should NOT be sung.  A cantor is approved but we may not have a choir yet.
• After Mass:  continue to practice social distancing when exiting the church.  Please do not gather in the vestibule after Mass for visiting.   

If you prefer to continue to quarantine, the Sunday obligation is dispensed until further notice.  Yet, we still have a serious obligation to "Keep holy the sabbath day."  Please watch Christ the King 8:30 AM mass on Facebook; set aside time for prayer, recite the rosary, read scripture or other readings to stay mindful that the Lord is walking with us in these difficult and challenging times.  You may also consider attending a weekday mass so you may receive the Eucharist while socially distancing, since fewer people attend.
