See what progress has been made on the remodel at the Parish Center!

Starting October 4, 2014 and continuing on the first Saturday of each month for the next year (at least), we will be hosting First Saturday Devotions, including Mass, Confession, and a Rosary, along with family-friendly activities at St. Paul Church. Click here to read more about it!

Over 40 parishioners volunteered to serve on the team for this summer's Vacation Bible School. Students preschool-aged through those in high school discovered through spiritual lessons how to see evidence of God in everyday life, something we call "God Sightings". The results of the God Sightings are posted on the bulletin board in the Parish Center. To show that we can help our neighbors, the students and their families participated in the Fiesta de Corazon (Festival of the Heart). We helped the students learn about God's love by providing assistance to the children of migrant worker families in Pomeroy. A prayer service followed by a dinner with foods form South of the Border, music, pinatas, and a slide show was held on Friday evening. $1,610.00 in donations was collected for the Hispanic/Latino ministry in care of Sr. Francisca and Fr. Kozak at Sacred Heart Church in Pomeroy! A special word of gratitude to those individuals who gave their time to make VBS 2014 a huge success for all involved!

To date, both parishes have met their Diocesan goal in pledged donations. Christ the King's goal is $35,685.00. THe total amount pledged thus far is $43,552.60. The amount of the goal that ahs been paid to date is $30,928.86. Once the goal has been paid in full, then CTK will begin to receive rebates from the Diocese. St. Paul's goal is $35,802.00. The total amount pledged thus far is $52,471.67. THe amount of the goal that has been paid in full and to date is $38,054.00. Therefore, St. Paul will begin to receive rebates from the Diocese on the balance over the paid goal. Once again, thanks for your generosity!

Childcare during the 10:00 AM Mass at Christ the King will resume on June 1 in the room just off the gathering space. This program is intended for children one to three years of age. Please contact Nancy Denhart for more information. Also, the 10:00 Faith Formation Program for the four-and five-year-olds will resume this Fall, 2014.

On Friday, June 6, members of the St. Francis Society will attend the 8:15 AM Mass at St. Paul Church. Following Mass, the group will travel to the Hocking Hills Market in Logan, and we will have lunch at the diner. All seniors (50 years of age and older ) as well as their spouses are invited to join us!

Thanks to the following volunteers who came to the recent Spring Clean-Up at Mt. Calvary Cemetery: Rick & Eileen Sirois, Ann Mulligan, Gary Schumacher, Renee Baum, Angela Cross, David Ingram and Dave Montle. We would also like to thank (CLC) - Carla Rosler and Trudy Montle for providing a healthy lunch for our volunteers. All did a great job in wrestling poison ivy, vines, branches, and tree limbs. In addition, a special thanks to John Lavelle. Last Tuesday, John and Rick trimmed the trees on the main road leading into the cemetery. On Wednesday, John returned and hauled several large piles of tree limbs to the compost area. John is 81 years young! Thanks for your work and dedication! We look forward to seeing you all again next spring.

We are looking for folks to deliver food to area needy. The number of families in need of food has grown, and so the need for more food delivery volunteers is more important than ever.... (Click the title to read more.)
