“Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice.”
- Rom 12:1
The tithe is not a fee. It is not a payment for services. It is not a donation given under pressure. It is not one more appeal among many. It is a grateful, sacrificial, proportionate return to God from what God has first entrusted to us.
Philanthropy may end when the project ends, when the need is met, or when I am no longer drawn to the cause. But the Christian need to give is lifelong, because conversion is lifelong, and because self-gift is our fundamental posture.
Stewardship forms a way of life.

Last Chance to claim KS Tax Credit
Through the generosity of donors throughout the Diocese of Wichita, $4.25 million in additional funding will be distributed this school year to diocesan schools. Christ the King Catholic School will receive over $110,000 in funding this year through these donors!
These donors were able to offset or eliminate their Kansas taxes and our parish school received a new source of funding for our students!

Tax credits are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and are running out sooner than expected. There are less than $800,000 left in credits for the whole state of Kansas. Now is the time to make a gift!
If you are paying Kansas tax, I highly encourage you to eliminate those taxes by making a gift to Support for Catholic Schools today. To lock in your tax credit and make a gift to Support for Catholic Schools, go to the website below or click the image below.
