of our parish life, and we invite you to celebrate with us! Mass is celebrated daily at Christ the King Church. Weekdays: 8:00am; Weekend schedule: 5:00 pm Saturdays and

We’d like to share with you a message from Fr. Tom Hoar, President of St. Edmund’s Retreat. Please consider making a gift as we commemorate the Sacred Heart of Jesus!

"In just a short time, we will witness a remarkable moment as America marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. On June 11, our bishops consecrated our country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a powerful act of faith and hope during a time when so many people are searching for peace.

At Enders Island, we have seen firsthand the healing power of the Sacred Heart. Every day, pilgrims arrive carrying burdens of grief, uncertainty, illness, loneliness, and worry. Through prayer, retreat, and time spent in God's presence, many leave renewed and strengthened. This sacred ministry is only possible because caring friends like you make it possible.

Your generosity helps sustain:

Daily prayers and Masses for those who seek God's help
• Retreat programs that renew faith and strengthen hearts
• The Chapel and sacred spaces that welcome thousands each year
• A place of refuge where Christ's love can be encountered

Your gift today will support Enders Island's ministry and mission. Thank you for your faithful support and prayers.

Rejoice in hope,
Father Tom

This past Sunday was Pentecost Sunday — a solemn feast in the church that marks the time that the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and the Virgin Mary, and empowered them to proclaim the Gospel to the world. The day is considered the “birthday” of the church — and at Christ the King Church we celebrated accordingly! The church was festively decorated with accents of red and orange (fire), candles (seven for the Holy Spirit’s seven gifts), and white doves (Holy Spirit) descending from red balloons (for the birthday)! At the end of the 10:30 Mass, congregants were invited to take home a balloon and dove to “bring the Holy Spirit home with them.” It was a joyful celebration! (“Send the Fire,” by Victor C. Johnson, sung by Christ the King Singers.)

At Mass on this Memorial Day weekend, Fr. Walter spoke of “sacrificial love” — exemplified by Jesus’s sacrifice for us, but manifested in our own lives every day by fulfilling our daily duties — like doing the dishes or the laundry or caring for family members. And of course, on Memorial Day we remember and honor those who exhibited this sacrificial love by giving their lives in defense of our freedoms.
