Christ the King Parish

MASS TIMES 

Archbishop Blair, Tuesday (March 23^rd) announced that the closure of all churches will be extended at least through April 30^th.  That means there will not be any services here for Palm Sunday, Holy Week, or Easter Sunday.

But that does not mean there will not be any services.  I am hoping to live-stream all of these services on Facebook as I did this past weekend.  And it seems that we were successful in converting that post to a YouTube video, and it can be found on our parish website.  We are working on making the audio better as well.

We have some other ideas we are processing as well, so stay tuned.  And above all, let us pray for one another.  I was truly moved by a letter from Fr. Rick in Haiti who said the candle burning before the Divine Mercy statue is for us!  As hard as those people have it, compared to what we are going through, they are taking time to pray for us!  Wow!  Doesn’t that show us that we are in this together with everyone around the world, and that we have to pray for one another!

 Funerals

Unless it is already scheduled and planned, all funeral Masses are suspended.  Additionally, wake services at funeral homes are not to be recommended.  Priests are allowed to celebrate the “Rite of Committal with Final Commendation” at the graveside.  Participation at such services should be limited to immediate family and close friends only, and their number must be in keeping with the limits established by the civil authorities.

A Mass for the repose of the soul of the deceased, as provided for in the Roman Missal, can be added to the parish Mass intentions and offered as soon as reasonably possible under the circumstances, or, if the family desires, a public celebration of this Mass at a later date can be contemplated.
