Thank you for supporting the coin drive sponsored by the youth ministry this month of July. We have raised $300. The monies collected will  help cover part of the cost of 2 archdiocesan formation classes at the end of August that each youth will be taking. Each class is $25 and we have 13 members taking each class. We ask that you please continue to support us financially and with your prayers. Please deposit any donation in the donation box found in the vestibule (Arden entrance by the school) or in the office.

 Fr. Setonga is hoping to raise enough funds to start    buying medical supplies and building materials (labor is being provided by the villagers) for a medical center. As the body of Christ, let us come together and help our brothers and sisters who are in need, and give a  generous contribution to his good mission.

 On August 8, CTK Seraphims will be having a rummage sale of books, vases, and frames. Monies made will help pay for the YM & Confirmation specializations. Please stop by and support our youth.

“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10

We have all been called to be Catechist. A Catechist is someone who “echoes” Jesus’ teachings to others through their words and their actions. Confirmation is beginning a new year. Around 100 youth register each year and we need adults who are willing to commit on being role models and share their faith with them. Our religious education office provides the lesson plan, materials, and resources needed, including opportunities to strengthen your own personal relationship with God (example: congress, retreats, and other workshops.) Helping our youth have a solid foundation during this critical time in their lives is essential to our whole community. To help us in any way, or for more information, please contact the office of Christ the King.

 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.”   John 15:16

A reception immediately following the Mass will be held at the Parish Hall.   Our farewell gathering will be a great opportunity to share a light meal together and to share our memories of the past 11 years.  Live music and entertainment will also be provided.  

If you have any questions or would like to help out, please feel free to contact Lourdes Ciau at the Parish Office at 323.465.7605.
