© 2003-2022 Christ the King Parish. All rights reserved.Christ the King Roman Catholic Parish9 Crescent Gardens, Wimbledon Park ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One theme each Weekday MassOn ferias the Lectionary gives us two readings which are unconnected. In order to help the celebrant and congregation take away a message for the day, I have found it helpful to find one single idea arising from the two passages of scripture given for the day - One Theme Each Weekday Mass. - Fr Anthony Plummer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Social MediaCTK FACEBOOK GROUP: Our CTK Facebook group has over 176 members! It is a private, closed group, so please do ask to join if you are on Facebook Parishioners/Friends of Christ the King, Wimbledon Park. Find us on Instagram at ctkwimbpark.

Ask a Welcomer. Also, complete Parish Registration & Gift Aid Forms, at church entrance & return them to the Presbytery letter box at 9 Crescent Gardens. There is usually at least one person to welcome people as they come into Sunday mass. Please make yourself known to them or to the priest. After the 10.30 a.m. Mass ALL are invited into the hall for a cuppa and chat. This is an easy way of getting to know fellow parishioners or just arranging dates with the priest.

The Bishops of England and Wales now believe that the reasons which have prevented Catholics from attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation no longer apply. So, from June 4th 2022, we are obliged to worship God at Mass on Sundays and Holydays of Obligation. We look forward to seeing you unless, of course, there are other reasons, such as health, why you cannot join us.
