Some random thoughts by the pastor…
Reminder:
⇒ Please remember to complete a ‘Mass
Attendance Slip’ and hand it to Father at the
end of Mass each weekend. Additional Mass
slips are available in the back of the church. If
you attend Mass at another parish, just bring a
bulletin from that parish to class with you.
⇒ SNOW DAYS: We are part of the RI Broadcasters
Association for cancellation of Religious
Education/Faith Formation Classes. Listen to
most local radio stations (92 ProFM, Lite Rock
105, 93.3, etc…) or the three local TV stations
to see if classes are cancelled. You may also
visit our website for updates.
If you have any ques'ons, would like more
informa'on contact Gina Vessella at
[email protected], call the parish
office at 401-821-9228, or visit our parish

Church of Christ the King has a new Website!
Visit: ctkwwri.org and check it out!
Our first reading (from Nehemiah) and our gospel
story (from Luke) agree on one point: TODAY God’s
promise is fulfilled in our hearing! The human
tendency (and what many of us have been taught) is
that God’s promise will be fulfilled at a later date…
some'me in the future, but not now! We connect
with the Parousia (when all stops exis'ng). Yet, God
creates us as one who is in union with God NOW.
What is the difficulty that prevents us from knowing
this reality? EGO: the person that we create and with
which we relate with the world around us. The EGO
relates in a business transac'onal way: rewards and
punishment; discipline and chaos; good and bad;
success and failure; 't for tat. God relates with love:
‘Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your
hearing.’ God is good.
Parish updates: We are on our way to having the
chairliKs installed in the stairwell nearest the parking
lot. Hopefully the liKs will provide the help that those
who have trouble climbing the stairs need. A couple
of dates to remember: Saturday, April 9th, we will
celebrate the Sacrament of Confirma'on with Our
Lady of Good Counsel Parish at their 4:00pm Mass;
Sunday, May 1st, we will celebrate The Sacrament of
(First) Communion at the 10:00 Mass; Sunday, May
15th, we will enjoy our annual May Breakfast. The
Lenten Season begins February 10th, with Ash
Wednesday. Finally, we will begin our annual Catholic
Charity Fund Appeal the first two weekends of Lent.
(We might receive mail regarding the Appeal before
these two weekends.)
