A Catholic school is not simply a private school attached to a parish. It is not merely a product for those who can afford it. It is a mission of the parish. The school costs money. It is not free. But when a parish embraces a parochial school as part of its mission, the whole parish shares in forming the next generation of disciples.
Those with children in school give. Those without children in school give. Those whose children have graduated continue to give. Those who once received now help provide for others, born of living relationships.
Let us pray that we will continue to serve this mission of Catholic Education, as we have at Christ the King for 75 years. 

Because of "significant decay" to the support beams, the Walkway on the north side of church, remains closed. The Walkway Committee is working on a long term solution, for both the walkway and bell tower, but in the interest of safety, we do not want anyone to walk underneath it right now. 
For now, simply avoid walking underneath the covered walkway. Those doors on the north side of church can still be utilized, especially as emergency exits. But you should not walk underneath the walkway to avoid any falling pieces or exposed hazards. 

What is the plan going forward? 
The first step is to remove the wooden support beams and the covering/ roof of the walkway. The concrete pillars and steel brackets should be re-used, but the beams and roof must be demolished and replaced. We plan to begin the demolition of the bell tower and walkway in November. The bells will be crated and sent to Cincinnati for restoration, but the wooden supports of both structures will be demolished. We will use approximately $125,000 from the "One Family, Fully Alive in Christ" campaign through the Diocese, to rebuild the bell tower. We hope to have that completed by August 2027.
