CHANGES TO MASS REGISTRATION: We will be discontinuing the registration process for Mass through Eventbrite. Christ the King University Parish operates as facility of King’s University College and also has a unique location within The Chapel at Windermere on the Mount. We are bound by the policies of King’s and committed to the safety of the residents at Windermere as we interpret the guidelines for worship from the Diocese of London. With this being said, the following precautions remain in place.

ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITALITY CENTRE: Our community will be returning to the St. Joseph's Hospitality Centre on May 14 from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Please drop off any pre-packaged non-refrigerated donations such as juice boxes, granola bars, fruit cups, apple sauce, etc. at the registration desk at The Chapel at Windermere on the Mount before Mass on Sunday, May 7. Perishable items such as sandwiches or cheese can be dropped off at the back door of the hospitality centre between 11 AM and 11:45 AM on Saturday May 14. If you have any questions or would like to participate please contact Annette Donovan Panchaud. 

Please consider participating in one of our Synod Listening Sessions. Christ the King University Parish will host sessions on the following days. Participation is limited to 10 people and registration is required at https://ctksynod.eventbrite.com.

Once registered, you will receive a Participant’s Guide to assist your preparation. If you are not able to attend one of the scheduled sessions, but would still like to participate, please reach out to anyone on the Campus Ministry Team or to Deacon Jim directly: jim.panchaud@kings.uwo.ca

REFUGEE ASSISTANCE: We are looking for people who can assist with settling and orienting new refugees connected to our community.  St. Peter’s Seminary and the Sisters of St. Joseph have been ‘surprised’ with four new adult refugees from Congo – this has been 10 years in the making and they are now here! Praise God! However, they now have immediate need for housing. Volunteers to assist with settlement are also needed because of the timing of their arrival.

As well, as you may be aware, we are anticipating the arrival of our last sponsored family of five from Syria this summer. We will need a small group of volunteers to work with their extended local family to ensure their smooth transition to life in Canada. Please let Deacon Jim know if you are able and willing to assist with either of these situations.

CONGRATULATIONS are extended to Isabel Fonseca Bejarano, daughter of Nestor and Jennifer Berjarano; to Violet Dumouchel, daughter of Matthew and Amanda Dumouchel; to Noah Russell, son of Robert Russell and Erin Circelli-Russell; to Hannah Kowalski, daughter of Anna Kowalski; and to Aaliyah Brodt, daughter of Jamy and Angela Brodt, as they receive First Communion today. We pray Isabel, Violet, Noah, Hannah, and Aaliyah grow in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord and that their families provide them with a witness of God’s love throughout their lives.
