GREETINGS FROM FATHER ED
Dear Friends:
Welcome to the Spring edition
of our Parish Newsletter! So
many things are going on
around here, and I am happy to
tell you about some of them.
The Lenten Fish Fries were
amazing, drawing together
numerous members of the
parish to cook, serve, clean and
eat! I enjoyed seeing so many of
you at this great tradition, and I thank all those who
worked so hard to make it a success (as well as delicious).
We celebrated Holy Week with beautiful ceremonies here
at Christ the King, and at the Easter Vigil we welcomed six
new members of the Church into our community. Your
prayers and good example have been an inspiration to
the candidates and catechumens. We also were
privileged to have Archbishop Schnurr here at the parish
for the Sacrament of Confirmation for our 7th and 8th
grade students. I am very proud of our young people and
the way they prepared for this important moment in
their lives. Also, over the past six months 78 new
families have joined our parish. We are growing and
people love what they find here.
Coming soon we have our JUNEFEST! Once again it looks
like our parish will have one of the best festivals in town.
Many people have been working hard and it will be
exciting to see the results on the weekend of June 1, 2 and
3. There is nothing like Junefest to help us all build up our
community spirit. Please come and be part of it.

OUR PARISH/CARDINAL
MARDI GRAS GALA KICKS
OFF JUNEFEST
A festive Queen City Club hosted
friends and parishioners of Our
Lord Christ the King Church on
Saturday, February 18, 2012 for a
Mardi Gras themed cocktail gala.
Green, gold, and purple
decorations transformed the club
into a scene out of Bourbon Street.
It was hard to stay away from
the dance floor once the
Ambassadors started playing.
Revelers enjoyed a delicious New Orleans style dinner
buffet, jazz music by Mike Wade and the Jazz Ambassadors, and a lively auction emceed by Mike Brown.
The party was chaired by Diane Altmix, Cheri Fitch,
Angela Habel, Laura Fredrick, Nicole Fredrick,
El McKenzie, Julie Moore, Julie O'Toole, Gerry Schulze
and Suzanne Watts.
NEW MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT:
LITURGY COORDINATORS
You arrive at Mass, genuflect on your way into the pew
and reach for a Gather hymnal as the first notes of the
procession sound. It doesn’t occur to you that the church
doors are open, the lights are on, and it is reasonably
cool—or warm—inside, depending on the season.
Most people take for granted that Mass will begin at the
appointed time. They may not realize that one person
has been diligently working behind the scenes to make
sure everything is ready.
Liturgy Coordinators are part of the newest ministry at
Christ the King. They work closely with the celebrant to
make sure Mass goes off without a hitch. Father Ed
created the role as a way for parishioners to take greater
ownership in the liturgy, the centerpiece of Catholic life.
The coordinators also make the entire process more
manageable when there is a guest celebrant.
Liturgy coordinators unlock church, set up for Mass,
verify that the servers, lectors, and Eucharistic
ministers are present, and close up when it’s all over.
If you are interested in becoming a Liturgy Coordinator,
please contact:
Linda Gloeckler at [email protected] or
Mary Alice Manley at [email protected].

/ THE ARTS COME ALIVE
The Fine Arts Committee served up an exciting menu of
activities this year revolving around the theme of discovery. “Expressing Yourself: Telling Stories Through the
Arts” exposed students to areas as diverse as photography, acoustic music, design, theater, and acrobatics.
In the fall students in grades six through eight focused on
visual art when professional photographer Tony
Arrasmith met with them to discuss the fundamentals of
digital photography. His visit culminated in a student

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Briggs O'Toole holds a Bearded Dragon in Mrs.
Long’s classroom. The third graders enjoyed a
hands-on lesson about reptiles when Veterinarian
Dan Meakin visited.
Once a month students enjoyed a
live musical performance in the
cafeteria. In November the cafeteria was unusually tranquil as Hee
Jin Yoon mesmerized students
with the sounds of her harp (left).
In March, the sixth and seventh
graders took a design-related field
trip to the University of Cincinnati.
They visited the College of Design, Art,
Architecture and Planning (DAAP) and the College-Conservatory of Music . Vanessa Phelan of DAAP showed how
"design" is really solving everyday problems, using art, science, and math. The students also learned about different
design careers, including architecture, fashion, graphics,
horticulture, industrial design, and urban planning.
The Fine Arts Committee is a PTO sponsored committee
made up of parent volunteers. Thanks to Anne Texter,
Mitch Dunn, Wendy Yip, Julie Robers-Cox, Jill Giles and
Nicole Fredrick for their effort and creativity in bringing
the Arts to Cardinal Pacelli. Art teacher Helen Von Holle
acts as a faculty advisor.
Charmaine Gruber, Nancy Wilson, Taffy
Clifton and Lisa Locy have 88 years of
combined service to Cardinal Pacelli. They
have touched the lives of so many children
and families. We thank them for their
dedicated and distinguished service and
wish them the best in their retirement.
SOCIAL ACTION:
URGENT NEED! MEETING HEALTH
CARE NEEDS IN GHANA
In 2010 the Twinning Committee began a pilot project to
provide health care for the needy families in Father John
Agyekum’s parishes. The committee’s intention was to fill
a critical need for access to health care by sponsoring
government-subsidized coverage for adults and children.
PTO: PRETTY TERRIFIC
ORGANIZATION
A recent Associated Press
article about national PTA
trends said, “By any
measure the PTA is one of
the most venerable and
iconic of America’s
Kim Hardewig, Barb Lamping, Diane
Altmix, Carla Caruso, and Michele Daniher
volunteer-based nonprofits.” Cardinal Pacelli’s all served on the PTO Board this year.
PTO is a prime example of what can happen when a group
of energetic, creative, and dedicated individuals come
together. If your child enjoyed the Children’s Theater
performance of The Gift of the Magi, ran his first road race
at the Family Fun Run, or learned more about celestial
Eighth graders Madeleine
Morrissey, Delaney Dolle, Tristan
Bentley, and Caleb Brunner
represented Cardinal Pacelli at
the Catholic Schools Week Mass
at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral
on January 31, 2012.
Individuals from the Obuasi
Diocese display their National
Health Insurance cards.
Imagine being able to provide
in-patient services, oral health
care, maternity care, and more, for
just $20 per year for adults and $7
per year for dependent children?
In 2010, the first year of the program, Christ the King parishioners
responded generously by sponsoring 473 adults and children.
The time has come to re-enroll the original individuals,
and do what we can for the waiting list of people who
qualify for enrollment. The Cardinal Pacelli Aftercare
program has already sponsored 102 children during the
past year; however, there are still many who are in need
of our support. Please contact Joan Hilton at
[email protected] to sponsor an adult, child, or
family.
