Our Pastor
Dear Friends in Christ,
On behalf of Archbishop Wilton Gregory, our clergy and staff, I welcome you to the Cathedral of Christ the King website. As you browse through this website, I hope you gain an insight into our very vibrant Catholic community.
The Cathedral of Christ the King has a strong foundation of faith beginning with our first pastor, Monsignor Joseph P. Moylan. Almost 75 years ago, Monsignor Moylan and a small group of 400 families had the vision and insight to build for the future. This Cathedral parish is a testimony to their faith and the faith of all who have continued the mission entrusted to them.
Today, our 4,900 registered families and I invite you, through this website, to learn more about us and our efforts to serve our parish, our community and the wider Church. We strive to fulfill our parish mission “To Know, Love and Serve as Jesus Did”.
I am very proud to be the Pastor of the Cathedral of Christ the King and I hope and pray that your visit to this website will prompt you to visit us and perhaps become an active part of this parish community. I look forward to greeting you personally at our Sunday liturgies. Be assured of my prayers.
In Christ,
Reverend Francis G. McNamee
Pastor

As follow up to the Gallup Parish Engagement Survey (Spring 2008), Father Frank asked the CTK Pastoral Council to initiate and execute a series of ten focus group sessions to obtain additional insights from you, our Christ the King (CTK) parishioners. The Focus Groups were intended to be subjective and open ended to elicit deeper insights about what and how CTK could improve as a parish and increase the engagement and spirituality of you, our parishioners.

Christ the King is exploring the feasibility of providing low gluten (.01%) hosts to those who might desire it. We are trying to get an idea how many parishioners might be affected by health concerns who would be interested in receiving communion with wheat-free hosts. Interested parishioners would provide their own pix prior to Mass and the low gluten hosts would be consecrated at the same time as all the other hosts and then available after Mass. Of course, it would still be completely acceptable to receive communion by means of the Precious Blood. If you are interested in receiving gluten free hosts, please contact Kristen Sheeran, 404-233-2145 x693 or ksheeran@ctking.com.
