CHRIST THE KING PARISH: PROCLAIMING THE KINGSHIP OF CHRIST AND PROMOTING THE REIGN OF GOD IN MASHPEE, COTUIT, MARSTONS MILLS AND BEYOND SINCE 1984

through faithful WORSHIP, unwavering WITNESS, and charitable WORKS

WORSHIP: To be an authentic Christian community then all that we do must begin in prayer. The greatest prayer is the one we offer communally, which is the Eucharist that Christ himself commanded us to celebrate in his memory. It is the celebration of Word and Sacrament that we are called to pray each Sunday which the Second Vatican Council defines as the summit and the font of all authentic Christian life. Recently at a meeting of those who serve in various ministries in the celebration of the Eucharist here in our par-ish the idea was discussed and well received of having a “NAME TAG SUNDAY” in the near future and then periodically thereafter. The purpose would be to try to reduce any anonymity that sadly still exists to some extent among us who are called not only to be individual believers but especially to be a true community of faith. Christ calls each of us by name and we should strive to do the same whenever we gather to pray the Eucharist. So when we launch “Name Tag Sunday” we ask the cooperation of all in filling out a tag in which your first name will be written legibly and large enough to be seen by those around you who will offer you the sign of peace by name and the ministers of the Holy Commu-nion who will call you by name as they present the Body of Christ to you. Stay tuned for further information as to the dates that this will be done in the near future!

WITNESS: Those who worship are sent out to bear witness to Christ and his gospel in order to cooperate with Him in his mission to transform the ways of this world into the ways of God’s Kingdom. This transformation entails many things because the gospel is transmitted to others in both word and deed. Yet in the end witnessing especially entails revealing one’s faith through preaching, teaching and faith sharing in order to spark, sup-port or strengthen faith in others. Certainly as we observe CATECHETICAL SUNDAY today, we are reminded that witnessing is the responsibility of all of us but there are those among us who generously step forward to take on an important aspect of this task for the whole community of faith by committing themselves to catechize the young people of our parish. So today we pray for Mrs. Laird and all who volunteer to assist her in organiz-ing and carrying out the programs by which the younger members of our parish will be further formed in the Christian faith. Let us be mindful of these dedicated catechists not only on this weekend but throughout the year from September to May as they carry out this essential ministry in our parish. Let us also be generous to the second collection this to insure that the catechists will have the resources necessary to conduct their ministry.

WORKS: Charitable works are an essential way in which we “walk our talk” and validate our claim to be disciples of Jesus Christ. On last Monday evening at the banquet which concluded the annual CTK Classic Golf Tournament, the Boston Food Bank was recog-nized and thanked for its cooperation in providing food for distribution to those in need in our local community through the efforts of our weekly food pantry over the course of the past 30 years. Statistics recently gathered from the records of the St. Vincent de Paul Society who organize and manage the weekly pantry are quite impressive revealing that over the course of one year alone 105 tons of food is distributed in 32,261 grocery bags as on average 150 households per week seek our assistance to put food on their tables! This good work is carried out by Vincentians and other parishioners who generously contribute over 10,000 hours of volunteer service. We thank all who make this good work possible by volunteering or by helping to raise the funds that support this charitable work through the annual golf tournament and by contributions throughout the year to Mat-

Christ the King Parish: Proclaiming the Kingship of Christ . . . . . .From Our Seminarian, Chris Hughes . . .

Dear Parish Family of Christ the King

I wish to express my sincere thanks for your well wishes and promises of prayers as I departed at the end of the summer to begin three (of six) at the seminary. I have settled in and classes are in full swing – six of them to be exact!:

Please know that I pray for you all daily, and please continue to pray for me. I con-sider myself extremely blessed to have grown up in, and continue to be, a part of this wonderful family of faith. Please keep in touch, and may God continue to abun-dantly bless all of you!Email: cdh8@comcast.netMailing Address:Christopher HughesImmaculate Conception Seminary, 400 South Orange Ave., South Orange, NJ 07079.

thew 25 Fund. This fund which is an umbrella fund that supports the good works of the parish especially those carried out by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and the Knights of Columbus ever reminds us by its title that such good works are an essential way in which we all must put that most important chapter of gospel into practice.

WALK OR SPONSOR SOMEONE TO DO SO: On October 5th, the St. Vincent de Paul Conference of Christ the King Parish will conduct a walk here on our parish campus to raise funds to resolve or help prevent homelessness right here on Cape Cod. This is a largely an unseen but very real problem here on the Cape especially from October to May and to address it properly requires funds to help pay rents and mortgages as well as first, last and security deposits to place families in housing. Fr. Healey will be walking and if you do not know anyone else who is and can’t do so yourself he would welcome your sponsor-ship. You may make your pledge by signing his form available on the clipboards found at both main entrances to the church.

What’s Missing?Do you have questions

about your Catholic faith?

Do you know why you are Catholic?

Religion and Faith may at times be confusing. Of course,

God is mystery, and not all questions have an answer. However, the idea is

to explore that area between black and white, to find the spiritual rainbow

who is our Lord Jesus Christ. Please join us for discussion

and prayer. This process is for those who want to bridge the gaps

in their journey of faith.

All are welcome.
