3 Ways to Support Christ the King Financially
during this Time


On-line Giving
We strongly encourage parishioners about the importance of using one of the available online giving options to help the parish remain financially stable and sound during this time with no public Masses and no collections.  Parishioners can use the on-line giving tool FaithDirect that Christ the King is enrolled in.  Go to https://churchofchristtheking.org/online-giving to sign up for one time or recurring giving.  Any help you can provide is much appreciated.  

Bank Bill Pay Services
For parishioners who want to avoid credit card and bank transactions fees, we also strongly encourage the free bank bill-payment services that many local banks offer.  For example, both Bank of America and Chase offer Bill Pay services that allow the account owner to set up a weekly automatic payment via check in a set amount to the parish.  This paper check is then mailed by the bank to the parish on the date the account holder sets.  We find that this works very well and is easy for most parishioners to set up and use.  If you have questions on how to set it up, call the online banking contact number with the bank where you maintain a checking account.

Mailing Check to the Office
Parishioners can also mail their Sunday envelopes directly to the Christ the King Parish Office.  If so, please send to:

"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
– Philippians 4:6-7
Pope Francis' Prayer for Protection and Help



We pray that our parish community stays safe and healthy! Join with Pope Francis in his prayer asking Mary to protect us during of the coronavirus pandemic.

“O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial.

Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.

Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of those of us who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.”
