Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
King of the Universe
“Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom does not belong to this world.” (John 18:36)
Life is short. How much time, energy and money do you put into building “your” kingdom here on earth? We all know we can’t take it with us. The real kingdom is in the next life. Yet, how much time, energy and money do you invest in working for that eternal kingdom? Ask God for His guidance. Detach from earthly possessions. Generously share your material goods with others for the greater glory of God.

Dear Parishioners of Christ Our King and Savior,
Thank you for your generous donations and outpouring of love to the people of Louisiana. Your donations went to an area of the Bayou that desperately needs help. We are working with the people of Dulac where the wall of Hurricane Ida stayed on them for about eight hours with winds up to and exceeding 180 mph. There are a lot of houses in Dulac that were completely destroyed due to these high winds, and are now being destroyed by mold. Despite their circumstances, we always find the people of the Bayou with cheerful dispositions. They greatly appreciate all of your support and prayers. Please continue to keep the people of Louisiana in your prayers, they have a long road ahead of them.
Thank you again!
Emma Pressley
Founder of A friend Ministry

Pope Francis’ Prayer to Saint Joseph
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen.
