I have just received the results of our 2010 Stewardship of Treasure Pledge Drive. One thousand fifty-five families (1,055) made a commitment to our 2010 Offertory in the amount of $2,929,169. In these uncertain economic times, I thank these parishioners profusely for their faith and trust in God and in this parish and those who steward their precious gifts.
The pledge we ask each family to make is a non-binding commitment to give back to God in thankfulness a portion of the gifts they have received. No matter the amount, everyone can tithe according to their means. Read more…

MUSICAL MEDITATIONS ON THE WAY OF THE CROSS
The Cathedral of Christ the King will present its Cathedral Choir in the second of three Lenten musical programs intended raise funds for the disaster victims of Haiti. On Friday March 12 at 7:30pm, the Choir will present a dramatic blending of sight and sound in their presentation of Visions of the Cross, Musical Meditations on the Way of the Cross. All proceeds from the program will go directly to Catholic Relief Services earmarked for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
Kevin Culver, Choirmaster at Christ the King relates that the stories and pictures of the human tragedy and devastation from Haiti inspired Christ the King’s musicians to become more involved in the relief efforts. Culver notes that “we felt that these concerts would be an opportunity for the Choir to not only offer their musical prayers but to highlight in some small way the ongoing need of continued relief efforts. The initial “news cycle” kept the people of Haiti in our minds and hearts for a couple of weeks, but now as the images begin to fade from our daily consciousness it is important to remind ourselves of the continued need for redoubled efforts, prayers, songs and dollars”.
The Stations, one of the most popular Lenten Catholic devotions has also inspired artists both visual and musical, for centuries. Read more…
