At the Parish of Christ the King, we aim to equip our families to build their domestic church by learning how to pray and live out their faith together. Growing in Grace is a family ministry that will help our families learn how to live in the rhythm of the Church and further enhance their faith life through everyday moments.

Through the use of the Pathways Family Formation Suite, Growing in Grace meets families where they are and walks alongside them on their faith journey. Utilizing beautifully packaged "boxes," your family will be equipped with resources sourced from the Word of God, Tradition, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the lives of the saints, magisterial documents, and years of ministry with families. Marked by a spirit of accompaniment, participating families will work with each other, with other families and with mentors. 

All families need to register (even those who participated previously).

The St. Gianna Ministry serves to lift up and share God’s abundant love with new and expectant mothers at the Parish of Christ the King. Through prayers, frequent phone calls, and encouragement from a St. Gianna volunteer, mothers will be supported spiritually and emotionally, and will receive small gifts of love and welcome from their baby’s conception to infant Baptism. This ministry is made up of both volunteers and new or expectant mothers.

This committee helps families with newborn children by providing meals to them. Volunteers can sign up to provide dinner to a family upon receiving notice from the ministry leader of a new birth in the parish. Volunteers work directly with the family to arrange the dinner, day and delivery details once contact information is shared.

Dad Talks are casual Catholic conversations designed for all dads of the parish and Marquette Catholic School to help men navigate fatherhood and family-related matters. The events take place twice a year (fall/spring) and include dinner, beer, and a talk by an expert or panel of experts in the field of the selected topic. 

2022-23 dates coming soon!

All dads with boys ages 5-12 are invited to participate in the Father + Son Club. This group meets quarterly on Sundays from 2 to 3 p.m. to play a sport and share a Catholic virtue via a brief talk from one of the dads to the boys. The purpose of the club is to promote community, as well as character and faith formation for the boys. 

Meet other parents, let your kids play, and build community within our parish! Designed for parents with children 0-5, Pray and Play meets every Tuesday at 10 a.m. at Florence Park.
