Christ the King Mission Statement
The People of Christ the King in Lombard are a welcoming, vibrant faith community building the kingdom of God through our many ministries. We celebrate our diversity, seeking to realize the gifts of each member of our parish, as we are all joined together under one faith, in a spiritual journey of evangelization, service to others, and a reverence for all life. In the Eucharist, we find new life, and bring this life to others through stewardship, education, and worship.

THE 2014 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES ANNUAL APPEAL IS UNDERWAY TRUST IN THE FATHERS CARE
The 2014 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal begins with a mailing that many of our parishioners have received or will soon receive. This is a mailing from Bishop Conlon asking for a pledge to the 2014 Catholic Ministries Annual Appeal. The Appeal not only funds many of the operations of the diocese, it funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. For example, God Is Retreat, Youth Ministry, Confirmation Retreat, Catholic Youth Bibles, Living the Eucharist, and Foundations of Faith Formation for Adults. This year, the theme of the Appeal is Trust in the Fathers Care. God does provide for us. He never forgets us. His love sustains each of us. He is always giving to us. His grace is always there for us. Do we trust in the Fathers care? Christ tells us that we cannot serve two masters. Do we acknowledge Gods gifts and show him our gratitude for them? One way that we can show our gratitude is by offering our generous financial support to our parish and to our diocese and to the Church throughout the world. The gifts we give enable ministries, education, and services that touch thousands of lives. Our parish goal is $ $55,236.00. With your support, we can reach and exceed this goal. When we exceed our goal in paid pledges, we will receive 60% of the amount over goal for use in our parish. Please answer Bishop Conlons request and make a generous pledge. All pledges can be paid in 10 installments. Thank you in advance for your support.
I want to be happy. I want to feel loved. I want more meaning in my life. I want to get more out of the Mass and other Sacraments. I want to better understand my Catholic faith. I want to feel more a part of my parish community.

SAVE THE DATE FOR CHRIST THE KINGS ANNUAL ST. JOSEPH TABLE ON MARCH 16
Mark your calendars for Christ the Kings annual St. Joseph Table to be held Sunday, March 16, at 1 oclock in the Early Learning Academys Gymnasium. This parish-wide, family-oriented, community event is always loads of fun and is a wonderful opportunity to share food and companionship with family and friends and help those in need. This years proceeds will benefit the people of the Philippines and the people of Washington, Illinois, who were devastated by storms that hit their communities. We will be accepting donations of new or gently used items for our raffle baskets. You will also be able to sign up for the food item you would like to donate. Look for more information in future bulletins. If you would like to join the St. Josephs Table Committee, please give Mary Ellen Clish, St. Joseph Table Chairman, a call at 1-630-495-1339. Volunteers are always needed and more than welcome. We would like to share a short history of the St. Joseph Table for those who are unfamiliar with or new to the event. Following is that brief description. The table is a tradition of simple, usually meatless dishes, prepared and shared with neighbors and friends. Those attending offer a free-will donation and all the proceeds are given to the poor or a charitable organization. Sicilian/Italian families started this tradition. History tells us they prayed to St. Joseph to end a famine caused by drought. When their prayers were answered and it rained, the people showed thanks to St. Joseph by sharing their precious food with the poor. The menu typically included pasta, fish, eggs/omelets, bread and vegetables. The reason for this meatless tradition is believed to be the fact that the feast day falls during the Lenten season. There are special breads baked in crosses and other Christian shapes, which are displayed on the main table in the center of the celebration. The main table, usually in the shape of a cross or three-tier (to signify the Trinity), is decorated with flowers, a sample of each food item, candles and an image of St. Joseph. It is then blessed on the day of the event. The St. Josephs Table Committee

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In this weekends readings and psalm, the prevailing theme is that of light: We are the light of the world; our light breaks forth like the dawn; our light shines in the darkness; our light reflects generosity and justice. Good stewards know they are the lamp, and Christ is the flame that, through them, illuminates the earth. They know that they carry Christs light in their hearts, and let it shine through their words and deeds. What are we doing to shine Christs light on the hungry, the homeless and others most in need of Gods mercy? How do we exercise good stewardship over the light of Christ that burns within each of us?
