"You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength." - Deuteronomy 6

Question of the Week: How do you show you love of God and your neighbor in your everyday life?

Faith Response: Practice surrender. Give up something everyday: a seat on the bus, a spot in line, control of the remote, spare change for the one who asks, the chance to vent your aggression, the best portion of the meal, the need to be right.

We have established the parish budget necessary to meet our financial obligations for the 2006-2007 fiscal year. Each week we will publish the amount collected compared to our budget.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Christ the King Parish.
