December 24-26, 2021
The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas), and
The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Dear Christ the King Family,

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and concern. The outpouring of love, kind thoughts and well wishes from the community has been overwhelming and humbling. Through God’s grace all the Christmas Masses and weekend Masses have been covered.

The Masses will be covered as follows:

The Nativity of the Lord (Christmas)

Friday, December 24, 2021
  • 4:30pm (Live-streamed) - Fr. Alex Kroll, parochial vicar at St. John the Baptist in Edmond
  • 7:30pm - Fr. Linh Bui, parochial vicar at St. Francis of Assisi in OKC
  • 12Midnight - Fr. Brannon Lepak, parochial vicar at St. Joseph in Norman

Saturday, December 25, 2021
  • 10:00am - Fr. David Webb, Chaplain of St. Philip Neri Newman Center, University of Tulsa

The next good news is that Fr. Kalivela’s test results came back negative. He is not staying at the rectory in order to further isolate so he will be covering all regular weekend Masses. 

Thank you again and Christmas blessings to your families.

Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Fr. Rex Arnold
The Parish Offices will be closed Friday, December 24th and Monday, December 27th for the Christmas holiday.

Liturgical Ministry Training: Saturday, January 8
We'll have a Liturgical Minister Training Seminar on Saturday, January 8, 2022 from 10am - 12noon; if you are currently serving in a liturgical ministry or would like to join one of these ministries and begin serving, please let us know you will attend!
Sacristans
Sacristans help get things ready for Mass - things like unlocking doors, lighting candles, arranging books - basically a little organizing before Mass begins. 

Lectors
Lectors are the assigned "readers" of the Scripture during Mass (with the exception of the Gospel). 

Communion Ministers
Communion Ministers assist in administering the sacrament of Holy Communion, the consecrated bread and wine. They may also take the sacraments to those who are ill or otherwise unable to attend Mass. Communion Ministers are selected by the pastor. So while this is not a ministry you can volunteer to join, please let us know if you would like to be considered.

Ushers
Ushers are responsible for things like seating Mass attendees, taking up collections, bringing forth the gifts at the Offertory, and handing out bulletins after Mass.

Greeters
Greeters welcome everyone to our church and may pass out the weekly liturgy sheets.

We will begin in the atrium with a continental breakfast and opening remarks, followed by breakout sessions for each ministry. Training will wrap up by noon. Again, please let us know if you're able to attend.
St. Ann's Thanks You
The residents of St. Ann's Nursing Home will have a lovely Christmas, thanks to the generosity of parishioners at Christ the King! Thank you so much!
