Our Parish

Christ the King Catholic Church in Iowa Park was established in 1980. Church construction was completed on December 18, 1988; before that, the parish hall served as a multi-function church and parish center. Christ the King has faithfully served the local Catholic community since its inception and continues to be a welcoming, vibrant church today.

Our Challenge

We strive to be faithful stewards of your financial contributions. Over the years, countless families have worshiped, prayed, celebrated and mourned together. As our buildings age, our capital needs have grown beyond what can be covered in the parish operating budget. With your help, these updates will allow us to continue to serve you and your loved ones into the future.

Our Solution

Through prayerful consideration, input from the pastoral advisory council, and responses to parishioner surveys, Christ the King Parish will embark on a 3-year capital campaign, Breathe New Life, to address these concerns. We first need to replace the HVAC for the parish hall. Next, we will update the sanctuary by removing the defunct baptismal font, expanding the usable area to eliminate dangerous drop-offs, and refreshing the flooring. Finally, we plan to establish a building endowment to provide funds for ongoing maintenance and future projects. Our goal for the 3-year time period is $150,000.

Campaign Goals

Refresh (Goal $34,000) 

The age and condition of the HVAC system in the parish hall makes this our priority. As a gathering center for parish events, including religious formation, socials, and funeral luncheons, we need to provide shelter and comfort from our regional weather fluctuations. Reaching 65% of the budget ($22,100) allows us to commence work.

Revere (Goal $36,500)

Our sanctuary is set apart for the celebration of the holy Mass. Removing the old baptismal font and extending and updating the sanctuary area will beautify our church, calling our hearts and minds to worship. This phase will not begin until we have met the goal for the HVAC and will also require us to reach 65% of the budget ($23,725) for this step before commencing work.

Reserve (Goal $79,500)

As faithful followers, we are stewards of all God has given us. We are grateful for the contributions of others who have provided us with our parish home. With joyful hearts, we desire to establish a permanent building and maintenance endowment fund with the Advancement Foundation to provide for the future needs of Christ the King Parish.
