Christ the King Parish
OUR PARISH MISSION
We are Christ the King Parish, a richly diverse Christian Community in Northwest
Detroit. We are on a journey of Discipleship with Jesus, seeking conversion, reconciliation and renewal. We reach out in welcome to all the people within our neighborhood,
proclaiming the good News of Christ the King, building community, celebrating
together, serving one another’s needs and the needs of all our neighbors.
Incredible Blessings
I know many of us have been fortunate to have had some time away,
perhaps, to a special place, to visit
distant family and friends, or simply
to bask in the sun for a few lazy summer days. As we enter into this wonderful season of autumn, I hope and
pray all of us can savor the cooler
nights, the changing colors of the
leaves and the distinctive tastes and
smells of this season’s harvest of all
the fruits that this past summer’s
crops have yielded. In every season,
we praise and thank God.
Stewardship News
Back in early summer, the leadership
of our parish met in special sessions
to consider and decide the course we
would take to address several significant facility issues facing the parish
and our school. Those included repairs to roofs, various and necessary
drainage and structural repairs, and
the complete remediation and restoration of the oldest structure on our
campus, Marshke Hall. All of these
amounted to sums of money and resources that could tax us beyond our
means.
However, with the resources on hand
due to the good stewardship always
displayed by our parish, much creativity, several generous donations,
and a will to maintain our mission
and the valuable services offered to
the community here at Christ the
King, our leadership set forth a plan
to resolve the problems.
Here is a quick update on some of the
projects:
�� The roofs on the gym and Marshke Hall are replaced
�� New security doors at the main
entrance to the school and school
office are installed
�� Mold remediation and restoration
work in the school is complete
��
The installation of a new and
state-of-the-art fire alarm system for the school is near completion
�� Rainwater drainage diversion
from the gutters around the
church, rectory and school is in
process
�� Remediation and restoration of
Marshke Hall is scheduled to
proceed (Please see Fr. Clore’s
letter inserted with this Broadcast.)
Thank you to all who have contributed time, talent and treasure to
accomplishing this work!
If and when you may be able to
make an additional contribution to
specifically fund these building improvements, please use the attached envelope and drop it in the
collection basket.
Faith Formation/Religious Education News
Religious Education Classes for
children in the 1st through 7th
grades are set to begin on Sunday,
October 4th. Registration is available at the table set up in the hall
during coffee hour. If you have not
yet registered your children, please
consider doing this today. Or, you
can contact me at the parish office
during the week. Classes will be
held every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the
month at 9:30 am.
We are very blessed to have a team
of Catechists who are dedicated to
support parents in fostering the
growth of their children’s faith.
Kathy McEvoy and Justin Schaefer
will instruct the 1st-4th grades,
Theresa Gordon will instruct the
5th-7th grades and provide formation
for the Sacrament of Reconciliation;
Kathy and Mary Jo McEvoy will
prepare our 2nd grade children for
First Holy Communion; and Rick
Joseph will meet and work with our
September 27, 2015
8th grade and other teen candidates
as they journey through the year
toward the Sacrament of Confirmation. Sister Fiorentina will meet
with parents before and during the
classes to guide and empower them
to assist our Catechists with the
lessons and projects to be completed
by the family at home.
Vatican II stated the goals of religious education as nourishing “a
faith that is living, conscious and
active.” Michelle Lewis, our Faith
Formation Commission Chairperson, and I are looking forward to
this year as we work together with
our parents to educate our children
in the ways of our faith so that they
may meet Christ in our church, in
their schools and in all they encounter. Please pray for all involved
in this effort as we continue to minister to our children and families
that, empowered by the Holy Spirit,
we will foster “a faith that is living,
conscious and active.”
The Christ the King Youth Group
gathered earlier this month for our
annual “End of Summer” cookout,
and Youth Ministry is off to a great
start with many new faces and
great energy. We are grateful to all
the adults who helped make this a
fun (and delicious) evening. We welcome any 8th-12th grade student to
join the Teen Disciples of Christ the
King. We have some great activities
scheduled for the upcoming year
and, in fact, we will meet this evening from 6-8 pm in the basement
of the rectory – all are invited!
It is going to be a busy and exciting
year for our parish and school and
we can depend on graces given us to
accomplish many great things. For
all these incredible blessings, we
praise and thank God!
Peace.

ANYONE can sponsor
Coffee Hour!
Please take a look
at our Coffee Hour
sign up sheet in
Koelzer Hall near
the coffee pots. See
if there is a Sunday YOU can sponsor. We are always happy to assist
first time sponsors. You need not
prepare a big meal. Coffee and pastries or bagels is fine. We encourage everyone to take a turn so that
the Sunday coffee Hour prep does
not always land on the same people.
Thanks for stepping up!

The Wisdom of Pope Francis
I see the church as a
field hospital after
battle. It is useless to
ask a seriously injured person if he has
high cholesterol and
about the level of his blood sugars!
You have to heal his wounds. Then
we can talk about everything else.
Heal the wounds, heal the wounds.
And you have to start from the
ground up.
