@sbctk.com What you see above is our new domain name, which we’ll use from now on for things like our website (sbctk.com), email addresses, and social media!  Ever since I arrived here the first time in 2007, I’ve hoped that one day I’d be able to change it, as “christthekingonline.org” is really long, easy to … [Read more…]

Fr. Steve’s Column 6-25

As you hopefully saw in last week’s bulletin column, our vestibule expansion project is moving forward, full steam ahead!  I didn’t give you many updates during the month of May because there were lots of behind-the-scenes details that we had to work out in order to determine a path forward.  I’ve been saying all along … [Read more…]

Fr. Steve’s Column 6-18-23

I know I haven’t updated you on the vestibule expansion project in the last several weeks.  Lots has been going on over the last month, but we needed to get some details worked out before I could give you a reliable update.  (This is primarily because our general contractor bids came back much higher than … [Read more…]

As I write this column, I’ve just gotten back from our 8th Grade Service Immersion.  Ever since 2017 (with exceptions during the COVID years), our 8th graders spend three days in Indianapolis performing service at a variety of agencies.  We spend the whole year learning about Catholic Social Teaching in the classroom, and then they … [Read more…]

Geoff and our seminarian Tyler will both be moving on this summer, but we also have some other personnel changes going on.   Our Youth Minister, Abigail Ulbrich, is stepping down from her position as Youth Director at the end of July after 10 years.  (She’ll continue to stay on … [Read more…]

Congratulations to our First Communicants!   This weekend, at the 5pm and 10:30am Masses, almost 50 of our second-graders will receive the Body and Blood of Christ for the very first time.  This is always an exciting and joy-filled weekend, but this year even more so, since they will be able to receive both species.  It’s … [Read more…]

So many things are going on in the parish these days!  Between the return of the Precious Blood at Mass; and the fundraising for the vestibule expansion project; and the return of Trivia Night this weekend; it seems like there are a ton of good things happening at Christ the King!   With that in … [Read more…]

The time for the formal phase of our vestibule expansion fundraiser has arrived!  In November we offered a “sneak peek” for those who wanted to make donations to the project before year-end, as well as for anyone who simply wanted to see what this project was all about.  The response was tremendous.  Not only did … [Read more…]
