Our Mission To invite and welcome people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life to embrace and celebrate our vocations.  "To be Christ to the world.”

“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; 

but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; 

the water I shall give will become in him

a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

~John 4

Dear Parishioners and Friends, 

On this Third Sunday of Lent, the Gospel reading contains the story about the Samaritan Woman, coming to draw water from Jacob's well, and how she hears, reflects, and rejoices in meeting Jesus.

Next Saturday, March 14^th, after the 4pm Mass, we will be hosting a Saint Joseph’s Day Dinner in the Parish Center/Gym at Christ the King.  

Reservations to attend this event are required by Monday, March 9^th  and there is a suggested donation. We need to plan ahead so that enough food can be purchased. Contact Mary Jo DiNoto to make your reservation and donation: Phone: 544-8880, Ext 3131 OR Email: Mary.Jo.DiNoto@dor.org. (See the article on page 5 for further details)

An updated Parish Financial Snapshot reflecting our increased costs in utilities, repairs, and snow and ice removal can be found below. We will have a second collection at all Masses next weekend to help defray some of these costs.

As always, know of my gratitude to everyone for keeping things operational.

May God bless you!

 Fr. Gonyo

Congratulations and may God’s blessings be upon:
