The long awaited revisions of the English translation of the Roman Liturgy are here! We will use the translation to meditate upon our deep and inspiring response to, and adoration of, God in the dialog of the Holy Mass. All areas of religious education at Christ the King in 2011-2012 will be concentrated around our worship in the Sacred Liturgy. This focus is the reason that we have used the image at right to emphasize the Paschal Mystery and the whole life of Christ as central to every Holy Mass celebrated every day in the Catholic Church.
Religious Education at Christ the King provides you the opportunity to develop your relationship with God in the context of a Catholic community. Religious Education at Christ the King is for everyone from the "cradle to the grave". The progams provide opportunities for everyone to grow deeper in the Faith and push forward the mission of the parish and the wider Church.
Religious education also includes our help for those who are not Catholic but are interested in pursuing a relationship with the Roman Catholic Church. We do that through evangelism, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults and Children, and by helping new Catholics get deeper into our parish life, (the Neophyte year).
In addition to programs for non-Catholics, religious education includes opportunities for enthusiastic young adults to pursue their Catholic life in a stronger and deeper way ("Theology on Tap," and other young adult opportunities). Brad Schmidt (bschmidt@ctkcc.net) will be responsible for our young adult offerings. Brad is also the youth minister for Christ the King and there he takes care of grades 9-12 through evangelism, catechesis and social and outreach opportunities.
Religous Education also encompasses grades 1-8 with substantive and vibrant First Penance, First Eucharist and Confirmation programs. We provide Liturgy of the Word for Children on Sundays for ages 3-5 and grades K-2. Religious Education at CTK also includes the Baptism preparation for the parents of infants. Plans are underway for more catechesis for teens and offerings for parents of children through 12th grade and preparation for participation in the evangelistic mission of the parish.
