CHRIST THE KING CATHOLIC CHURCH
A Christ-Centered & Friendly Roman Catholic Community
Welcome
Welcome to Christ The King Catholic Church, located near historic downtown High Point, NC. We are a growing and active Catholic community with a long and culturally diverse history. From our humble beginnings as a mission church to serve the African-American Catholics in 1940, our parish has grown to be a vibrant witness to the Gospel of Life.
Sunday Eucharist is the heart of our parish community as it gives us life, strengthens us and calls us to holiness. We are committed to Catholic education and teaching of our faith through our Youth ministry and in our lifelong Faith Formation Program.
Message from Fr. Joe
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This Sunday the Church celebrates the anniversary of the dedication of the Cathedral Church of Rome by Pope Sylvester I in AD 324. This Church serves as the Episcopal seat of the Pope as the Bishop of Rome and, hence, is called “the Mother and Head of all Churches of Rome and the world.” The Basilica and Baptistery were built originally by the Emperor Constantine and called Basilica Constantinia. Later, the Church was named the Arch-Basilica of the Most Holy Savior. However, it is now called St. Johns Lateran Basilica because it was built on property donated to the Church by the Laterani family, and the name St. Johns comes from the Baptistery, rebuilt by Pope St. Sixtus II (AD 432-440), and dedicated by him to St. John the Baptist. Later, Pope St. Hilary (AD 461-468), dedicated it to St. John the Evangelist, in thanksgiving to that apostle for saving his life.
This feast reminds us that we are called to be living temples, free from the impurities of sin, commercialism and greed. Just as the physical temple that needs cleansing, so too do our hearts and souls require constant spiritual work and renewal. The emphasis is on preparing our hearts to welcome God’s Word and His presence into our lives, rather than being focused on external things or material gain.
May God bless us all!
Fr. Joe
