2016 Year-End Report CHRIST THE KING CATHOLIC PARISH

2016 YEAR-END REPORT A Letter From Our Pastor More Than Just a Milestone

Dear Parishioners,

n just a few months, the Parish of Christ the King will celebrate our 100th anni- versary.I This is more than just a milestone moment for us – it is also an opportunity to offer gratitude for the blessings of the past, as well as pray for guidance in our future. Oklahoma’s first bishop, The Most Rev. Theophile Meerschaert, established Sacred Heart Catholic Church on June 24, 1917, and assigned Rev. Standaert as the first pastor. Sacred Heart grew quickly on the outskirts of Tulsa, and by 1924, the par- ish realized the need for new and larger facilities to meet its increased registration and ministries. Construction on the new church (and rectory) began at this time under the guidance of the newly appoint- ed bishop, The Most Rev. Francis Clement Kelley. In December 1925, the name of this As you read through this year’s Annu- new church (now under construction) was al Report, you will see not only numbers changed to “The Christ King Church.” To- and statistics, but you will also see new day, we use a slightly different version and creative ways in which we are trying of that original name and continue to be to introduce parishioners to Jesus Christ blessed by the inspiration, vision and through our various ministries.

Ministry Accomplishments of the 2016 Calendar Year

• Spirituality: ACTS Retreat – As you may know, the Parish of Christ the King launched an adult parish-based retreat program called “ACTS,” which stands for “Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service.” Please contact Ron Tremblay for more information about the ACTS Retreat for Men and Women. We have now conducted 12 ACTS Retreats with a combined total of more than 400 parishioners who have now participated! The next ACTS Retreat for women will be in January 2017 and the next ACTS retreat for men will be in February 2017. Consider attending!

• Summer Spirituality Series – We were been blessed to welcome Sherry Weddell from the Saint Catherine of Siena Institute in June, and then to welcome Chris Stefanick in August as part of our 2016 Summer Spirituality Series. Sherry conducted a one-day seminar on Forming Intentional Dis- ciples for more than 300 participants. Chris offered his one evening of parish evangelization to a similarly sized group. It was a powerful experience for everyone.

• FOCUS Missionary for Parish-Based Evangelization – We continued to partner with FOCUS Mis- sionaries (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) in a pilot program for the development of Parish-Based Evangelization. Luke Oestman and Megan Allen, FOCUS Missionaries, are assigned to our parish for the purpose of carrying out ministry development. They have been working with small groups within our parish this past year to develop effective ministries of evangelization.

• New Parish Website – Thanks to the generosity of David and Marellie Littlefield, and so many tal- ented people at Littlefield Agency, the parish launched a new website during the 2016 year which is capable of serving the needs of parishioners for years to come. Thank you David and Marellie!

• Church and Worship Environment – Enhancing the prayer and worship experience. - Restoration of the Original Sanctuary Benches – The modern wooden chairs for altar servers have been replaced with exact replicas of the original furnishings as designed by Francis Barry By- rne in 1926. These benches were carefully crafted to be exactly the same size, design, and color as the original ones, which were removed during renovations in the 1960s and 1970s. Also, the original presider’s bench has been restored. With these projects, the sanctuary of the main church is once again taking on the intentional integrity intended by the original architect. This restoration is only one of our 100th Anniversary projects.

- Restroom renovation for the school – The restrooms on the second floor of the original Marquette building were renovated after years of use. These were the second set of two restrooms to be renovated out of a total of six. We have two more to go until all Marquette School restrooms are fully up to date.

- Continued Landscaping – The integrated landscaping project will continue to be implemented with extensive landscaping on the east side of Marquette School and near the new porte-cochere.

Marquette Catholic School continued from page 4 • Enrichment: We were honored to host assemblies such as the Veterans Day Assembly, where we celebrated and blessed many Veterans from our school community. Students and faculty benefited from pep rallies, music assemblies and the Victim Impact Panel, all of which enrich their learning ex- periences. At Marquette, we work hard to educate the mind, body and spirit.

• This fall, our wonderful community pulled to- gether in amazing ways to support one another through the tragic loss of our beloved Principal Pete Theban. His legacy will live on through all of the students he taught and families he touched over his 40 years in Catholic education. While it won’t be the same without him, Marquette will for- ever remain PT STRONG!
