High School Graduating Class

Christ the King Parish is proud to recognize its members who are part of the High School Graduating Class of 2025. We hope that your future endeavors are blessed by God and marked with a true Christian spirit. Congratulations, graduates!

To students: I pray that all those young people who have graduated do not carry just a piece of paper with them, but that they carry with them love, peace and joy. That they become the sunshine of God’s love to our people, the hope of eternal happiness, and the burning flame of love wherever they go. That they become carriers of God’s love. That they are able to give what they have received. For they have received not to keep, but to share.
