Scheduled liturgical volunteers and their families are not required to register (they have already been counted). The Bishop's dispensation from Mass attendance remains in effect. Parishioners who are more vulnerable to serious complications from COVID-19 are encouraged to consult a physician before returning to Mass. Those who stay home may watch the livestream at 4 PM Saturday or 9:30 AM Sunday. Please understand that reservations from past weekends do not carryover -- parishioners must sign-up every weekend.

At all weekend Masses, August 22-23, Fr. Michael Okere will make a mission appeal on behalf of the Archdiocese of Owerri, Nigeria. The Archdiocese provides spiritual, pastoral, educational, healthcare, and emergency services to more than one million Catholics. Mission funds help to finance the training of seminarians and the rehabilitation of aging hospitals, churches, and schools. Christ Our King will offer a weekly tithe to the appeal. Parishioners who wish to contribute individually may place an additional check in the collection basket; the check should be made payable to Christ Our King, and the memo line should read "Nigeria Mission." 

Fr. Spencer and the Renovation Advisory Committee met via Zoom on Monday August 3rd. The Committee is currently evaluating letters of proposal from two highly-regarded liturgical design studios, one of which will be chosen to develop a master plan for renovating the church. The chosen studio will help to evaluate needs and involve parishioners in the process. Pledges continue to come in; to date, the parish has received distributions totaling $524,998. The initial Bicentennial Campaign improvement project will be the re-surfacing of the church parking lot. Fr. Spencer will meet with the Committee again at the end of August.

​Classes resume August 24 with a hybrid learning model for COVID-19. Staff and volunteers have been busy updating facilities and safety protocols. 

​COK is blessed to welcome a third priest to the pastoral staff, Father Andrew Fryml. Fr. Fryml grew up in Spartanburg, completed his seminary training at St. Mary’s Seminary in Houston, Texas, and was ordained at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in 2017.  He comes to us after three years of ministry in Columbia at the Basilica of St. Peter and at Cardinal Newman High School.  Fr. Fryml's duties at COK will be limited, as he will also be serving as Chaplain for Bishop England High School and the College of Charleston. COK welcomes Fr. Fryml warmly!

​Confessions are heard on Saturday mornings from 8:30 until 9:30.
