Dear Friends,
I am filled with joy and anticipation as we prepare to gather this weekend for Mass at St. Stephen’s campus. It will be a blessing to see Christ the King community coming together in this new worship space, and I am deeply grateful to our St. Stephen parishioners for welcoming them so generously and graciously.
This transition—or as I like to call it, our “spiritual displacement”—has involved a great deal of planning, coordination, and flexibility. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to make this move possible. Our church ministries have held multiple training sessions to ensure we are ready, and I am especially thankful to our staff, ministry leaders, and volunteers—particularly our ushers, Eucharistic ministers, and sacristans—for the enormous amount of time and care you’ve devoted to this effort.
A special word of appreciation goes to Chris Lang, our Pastoral Associate at St. Stephen, whose flexibility and presence at each training session have been a great gift to us. Thank you, Chris, for your dedication and collaborative spirit.
We have also made significant efforts to enhance our worship environment. Two large, discreetly placed televisions have been installed to support the projection of Mass texts and songs, and Michael Hall has worked diligently to ensure that our live-streaming continues seamlessly in this new location.
