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 fourth Sunday of Lent is Laetare Sunday (Rejoice Sunday). This Sunday invites us to rejoice by being reconciled with God and by celebrating our coming home to be with our Heavenly Father.
We can see the theme of rejoicing in all the readings. In the first reading, the Chosen People of God were celebrating the feast of their freedom in the Promised Land. In the second reading, St. Paul invites the Corinthians to rejoice because Jesus has reconciled them with God by his suffering and death. The Gospel’s reading celebrates the joy of the prodigal son on his “homecoming” where his father not only forgives him but also throws a party to celebrate his return.
Lent is a time for forgiveness and reconciliation. It is a time for rejoicing in the mercy and forgiveness of the Lord. If God is always able to forgive us, why do we find it difficult to forgive others? This holy season is a time for us to learn the mercy and forgiveness of God so that we have the courage to be reconciled with God and with one another.
May God bless us all!
Fr. Joe
