Please be advised that it is now expected that those 12-years-old and older who are attending Mass at Christ the King University Parish be fully vaccinated.

If you are coming to Mass, it is essential that you register in advance either online or by phone. If you learn at the last minute that you cannot come, please go online and cancel your reservation, so that space can become available for others who would like to attend. For further information please contact Maija Wilson.
DAILY MASS takes place in Christ the King Chapel in Wemple Building on Wednesdays and Fridays at 12 noon. Seating is extremely limited. Pre-registration is required by contacting Lisa Caeiro or 519-963-1477. If you are confirmed as an attendee, you will receive and email indicating so.

STEP INTO CHRISTMAS is our Christmas initiative in conjunction with our outreach program at the St. Joseph’s Hospitality Centre. We invite you to fill shoeboxes with new waterproof gloves/mitts, new hats, wool socks, new toiletries and other items for those who are in need. Empty boxes and items not in boxes are welcome. Boxes will be distributed to people during our December 11, 2021 visit at the St. Joseph’s Hospitality Centre. Unwrapped shoeboxes can be left at the side altar under the statue of Mary between now and December 5, 2021.Currently, we are very short of our goal of the number of shoebox gifts that we typically give away. We are hoping to be able to give a gift to every person who comes to the Hospitality Centre that day. Thank you for your generosity.
STEP INTO CHRISTMAS WRAPPING PARTY: Preparation of the shoeboxes will take place in stages in the parish hall. We are in need of people to help sort shoeboxes on Sunday, December 5, 2021 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. We will have groups of people in shifts assist wrapping these gift boxes: Tuesday, December 7 from 10:00 to 11:30 AM, Wednesday, December 8 from 1:30 to 3:00 PM; Thursday, December 9 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM; and on Friday, December 10 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. If you are able to volunteer at any of these times, contact Annette Donovan Panchaud. All participants must adhere to the university's COVID protocol and show proof of vaccination.

JOURNEY THROUGH ADVENT: The CCCB will release a video recording of a bishop reflecting on the Gospel Reading for each Sunday during Advent. This year’s reflections were inspired by the Indigenous Delegation travelling to Rome to meet with Pope Francis from December 17 to 20, 2021. Each reflection is based on one of the five essential stages of reconciliation: examen, confession, repentance, reparation (making amends), and reconciliation. Please find the link here.

We acknowledge that King’s University College is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron peoples,
on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish
with One Spoon Covenant Wampum.
This land continues to be home to diverse Indigenous peoples whom we recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of our society.
