Envelopes
The envelope system helps the Parish Office to determine a household's parishioner status (active or inactive). Weekly envelopes in the Sunday collection basket indicate regular Mass attendance.
Parishioners who donate electronically should place an empty envelope in the collection basket, checking the box labeled "online giving." If using Venmo, please include your parishioner number in the "What's this for" box in the app. Should a parishioner come to Mass without an envelope, he/she may use a blue supplementary envelope (available in the church narthex).
Visit the parishioner status webpage for more info.

Mass Attendance
"Keep Sunday holy" — this is God's commandment. Faithful attendance at Sunday Mass is the foundation of a Catholic upbringing.
At Christ Our King, it's especially important for families with children enrolled in Christian Formation classes or Catholic School to use parish envelopes weekly as a record of Mass attendance. Sunday Mass attendance is a determining factor for evaluating a child's readiness to receive First Holy Communion or Confirmation. For Baptism, it is a sign parents are ready to fulfill their promise to raise their children in the faith. Mass attendance also determines a student's tuition rate at COK-SM School or BEHS.
