CHRIST THE KING SEMINARY: Going forth to

serve. As the center of faith formation for our diocese,

Christ the King Seminary helps students of all ages and

backgrounds grow faithfully in Christ in order to serve God

in our community as seminarians, priests, deacons, lay min-

isters, volunteers, and more. Close to 700 alumni are cur-

rently ministering in our parishes and communities. Close

to 80 students, including 30 seminarians and 24 candidates

for the diaconate, are preparing to join them.

The annual appeal for Christ the King Seminary will take

place at our church in two weeks. Please show your sup-

port for the students preparing for ministry at Christ

the King by praying for them and by giving generously

to the annual appeal. Your prayers and your gift to Christ

the King help to ensure we have well-educated, profession-

al ministry leaders. For more information about our semi-

nary’s students, alumni, or programs, or to give online, go

to cks.edu.
