Deadline is March 31st - please act now to help ensure the financial health of our school!

THINK PINK! Please consider contributing to the Christ the King School Scholarship Fund. Did you know that those little pink envelopes in your envelope set allow us to help qualifying families with school tuition? Just place your contribution in the PINK envelope and drop in the collection basket - it's that simple! Estimated need for the 2009-2010 school year is $102,000. A monthly contribution of less than $10 per month by each registered parish family would meet this need.

Corporate Sponsors

Be sure to support our Corporate Sponsors who do so much to support the mission and programs of Christ the King School.
