In the fullness of time the Lord Jesus came among us anointed by the Spirit to inaugurate a kingdom of justice, love and peace. His rule would be no mere earthly regime: it would initiate a new creation in every land. His power would be within and without, rescuing us from the injustice we suffer and also from the injustice we inflict.
—Constitutions of the Congregation of Holy Cross (2.9)
Prayer Resource
Today and throughout the Advent season, which begins next Sunday, the prayer resource I put before you is an invitation in the U.S. Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross's Virtual Advent Retreat. "This year’s virtual retreat will explore the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love — taken from the Advent candles. Our ability to journey with you is both an honor and a privilege. You are an extension of the mission of Holy Cross by bringing hope to your corner of the world."
Notably for our community, the first retreat talk will be given by Bishop Bill Wack of the Pensacola-Tallahassee Diocese in Florida, who grew up as a parishioner of Christ the King! Click on the ad below to register for the virtual retreat.

IN THE PARISH
CHRIST THE KING at CHRIST THE KING
Thank you to all who offered time in prayer with Jesus, our Lord and King in the Eucharist for our 40 Hours Devotion these past few days!
The next major event connected to our community's celebration of the Feast of Christ the King will be to welcome Bishop Rhoades, who joins us to celebrate the 12:15pm Sunday Mass this weekend! The bishop will bless our new narthex immediately following the Mass. Once again, we encourage all who are able to attend this Mass with the bishop!
Finally, our Teen Confirmation Mass will take place later on Sunday afternoon,
at 3PM!
For all of our Masses this weekend, we encourage you to start getting accustomed to entering the church through the new vestibule, as this will eventually become the sole entrance to the Church on Sundays. Handicapped parking spaces are accessible from the North Parking Lot off of State Road 933.
HAPPY FEAST OF CHRIST THE KING!
