Reflection

The Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie is planning for the future.  Saturday morning's edition of the Sudbury Star carried a front-page article describing some details about this planning process which begins this weekend and will continue until next December.

As providence would have it, we here at Christ the King have been chatting over the past few weeks about different ways that people in this parish have already been playing an active part in the life of the Church.  Various short presentations about the role of the Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers Musicians, the Fundraising Committee and the Knights of Columbus have been made, and we'd also like to hear from you.

In your pews this weekend are copies of a short survey which will allow you to tell us about how you are already involved in the life of this parish, or about ways that you may want to get involved.   Perhaps you have ideas about how we can make this parish more vibrant, or ways that we can better answer the needs of parishioners.  Here's your chance to tell us about it.

Please take a few moments now to complete the census form.  All information you provide with us will be kept confidential.  You can drop the completed forms in the collection baskets at this Mass.  Christ the King parishioners have been working together for more than 90 years now to build a tradition of faith and service to others.  As we look toward the future, we would like to thank you all for your generosity and for sharing your gifts with all of us.
