September 23, 2018 Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Monsignor Thomas Adrians who passed away on the evening of Saturday, September 15, 2018. Monsignor Adrians was our Pastor here at Christ the King from 1995-2014. He was born June 10, 1940 in Appleton, WI and was ordained in 1967 at Holy Cross Abbey in Canon City, CO.
Father Tom Adrians arrived at Christ the King in 1995. Happy to be appointed to the parish he found the parishioners to be friendly and a good base to call upon for help.
Father Tom felt blessed to have a highly educated and effective staff through his years at Christ the King. The Parish also had many volunteers who served on social, church decorating and other committees. Father Tom enjoyed the frequent parish social events and was widely appreciated for his teaching while Pastor at Christ the King.
He implemented pastoral planning for improving the parish's physical plant and adult education, and focused much work on keeping the parish financially solvent. During his tenure Father Tom oversaw the updating of the kitchen in the church hall, erecting a wall between the church and parish hall to create a sacristy, and enlarging the sanctuary. Vision 2005 added the narthex onto the church to create space for fellowship and hospitality before and after Mass. In November 2007 Monsignor Tom named the new addition to the Formation Center “Sr. Joan’s Room” in honor of Sr. Joan Hentges who celebrated thirty years of ministry at Christ the King.
At the same time he was Pastor, Father Tom served as Director for Continuing Education of Clergy for the Diocese of Pueblo, Vicar General to Bishop Tafoya and Vicar for Clergy under Bishop Fernando Isern. In 2007 he was named a Prelate of Honor by Pope Benedict XVI with the title Reverend Monsignor.
Monsignor Tom retired from Christ the King in 2014. He treasured the nineteen years as our pastor and was grateful for the many friends he made. He was very proud of the improvements that were possible during his tenure. Our parish hall, now Adrians Hall, was named for him when he retired in 2014. During his retirement he assisted the Diocese with Prison Ministry and as a staff member. He celebrated Mass with the Primrose Community where he lived for some time. He celebrated 50 years as a priest in 2017.
Services are pending as of this writing. Please watch our webpage and Facebook for updates.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. New Office Phone System MASS INTENTIONS

BUDGET PROJECTION ACTUAL YEAR TO DATE COLLECTION REVENUE $65,359 $64,184 PARISH EXPENSES $87,905 $79,228 SURPLUS/(DEFICIT) (- $22,646) (-$15,044)
We projected we’d be “in the hole” as of the end of August; it usually takes until December to get in the positive. Our offertory collections were down $1,165, but on the bright side, our expenses were down, too, by $8,667. So we’re actually $7,602 ahead of our projected loss for this time of year. My main concern for the future is that we will have about $15,000 less revenue this year since Project Headstart no longer rents our school. But I trust that God will touch hearts to keep us in the ball- game. – Fr. John O.
