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.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This Sunday is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Today’s Gospel is part of a discourse between Jesus and people. Jesus told the crowd: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world” (Jn. 6:51).
Here we can see that Jesus did not make it easy for those who heard Him. People were confused and offended at His words. Even when they began to quarrel Jesus insisted: “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you” (Jn. 6:53). Jesus was testing their faith as God tested Israel in the desert.
Yes, the Israelites grumbled in the desert. Many people at Jesus’ time refused to believe in Jesus’ words, and many people of today still do not accept Jesus’ words. But His words are Spirit and life, the words of eternal life. The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of the Lord is a yearly reminder of the special Gift we celebrate that is the Eucharist.
Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers!
Fr. Joe
