Donations for Fr. Patrick's Home Parish

In the wake of the Pentecost Sunday massacre in Nigeria, Christ Our King is collecting donations for the Catholic Diocese of Ondo Relief Fund. At least 50 worshipers perished, and dozens of lives were turned upside down. Fr. Patrick Eyinla is very concerned, and he is grateful that COK is willing to help his home parish.

​

If you are able to contribute, please place a check payable to Christ Our King in the weekend offering, or make a Venmo payment. Please write "Nigeria" in the memo. 

Walking with Moms in Need

There are pregnant moms in our community who need assistance. Pope Francis reminds us, our parishes need to be "islands of mercy in the midst of the sea of indifference."

​

​

If you would like to volunteer, or if you need assistance, email Stasi Gormley or call 843-345-2769.
