Please Consider Donating
Dear Parishioners, Family and Friends of Christ the King Parish,
Please visit our GoFundMe page. Due to COVID-19 crisis that we are in, our parish is unable to hold our weekly Eucharistic services and gathering. I am writing to ask your financial support to sustain the regular operation of our parish.
Thank you in advance for your generosity. May our Good Lord bless you a million-fold.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Luke Duc Tran

All Masses and CCD Suspended
In compliance with the directive from Cardinal Tobin, Weekend Masses, Daily Masses & CCD classes are cancelled until further notice.
Liturgical Directives to be Issued
The pandemic we are living through has been a long, difficult and challenging journey for all of us, one that is still not over. You have been an inspiration and witness to our people in your efforts to serve them and care for them. You are to be commended for this extraordinary accomplishment – bringing the Lord to our people even in the midst of the necessary limitations in place. While we must continue the mitigation, in charity toward each other, we need to be ready to move forward when measures begin to be relaxed and cooperate fully with the measures that must remain.
Spiritual Closeness in a Time of Social Distancing
As Christians, we encounter Jesus in his people—our families and friends,
our neighbors and fellow parishioners, our co-workers and school mates,
even people we don’t know personally (strangers) who we come in
contact with as we go about our daily lives.
