Men’s Club
The Men’s Club at Christ the King Church is a group of men from the parish who seek to strengthen the spirituality and fellowship of our members through good works and support of people in need.
Meetings are typically held on the first Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the parish hall. Pizza, salad, and refreshments are served; occasionally a guest speaker will address the group on a specific topic. Meetings typically last 60–90 minutes.
​
All male parishioners are welcome to join the group and/or participate in our events, even if you are not able to attend our meetings. Contact the President or Vice-President for possible meeting changes.

Christ the King Men’s Club is Looking for
“A FEW GOOD MEN”
The Men’s Club invites all interested men to
join us as a new member.
We are an active organization that meets once monthly, at 6pm on the first Thursday, to support the needs of both the church and the community. We operate under three guiding principles:
-
we pray together, encourage retreats, and provide motivational guest speakers.
-
we raise money and support many charitable organizations and conduct maintenance projects to maintain the church and church grounds.
-
Socializing; we hold monthly meetings enjoying pizza and camaraderie, and we support numerous church social functions.
