Our Faith
​​
At Christ the King Catholic School we are committed to
integrating our Catholic faith and identity into all aspects of
student life. Students regularly participate in the sacramental life
of the Church through devotions, liturgy, service and outreach
programs that strive for missionary discipleship. Below are
some of the ways that live our faith at Christ the King.
​
Mass
Through weekly school Mass students participate in the highest form of communal prayer. Classes rotate preparing for Mass by writing prayers, lectoring, taking collections and altar serving.
​​
Altar Servers
Students 5th-8th grade are invited to serve for school and weekend Masses. Training is offered regularly throughout the year.
​​
Reconciliation
During the seasons of Advent and Lent, our 3rd through 8th grade students participate in reconciliation. 2nd graders undergo sacramental preparation.
Adoration
Each Monday our parish participates in Adoration. Our students participate as a class throughout the semester.
Rosary
In the month of October our school community comes together to pray a rosary led by our 8th grade students in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Stations of the Cross
Fridays during Lent we gather as a school community to reflect on the stations of the cross followed by the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
Yearly Patron Saint
Each year our school votes for a patron saint to intercede for us. Previous saints have been: St. Katharine Drexel, St. Josephine Bakhita, St. Carlos Acutis and Our Lady Undoer of Knots.
School Choir
Our school choir is open to our 3rd-8th graders. These students sing for school Mass each week as well as other liturgies such as Christmas Eve, Good Friday, penance services and our advent Lessons and Carols.​
Service and Outreach
Christian service and community outreach are essential to our Catholic identity. The efforts of our community play a role in bringing faith, hope and love to others. Jesus calls us to continually use our resources for the betterment of all our sisters and brothers. Works of charity cannot be separated from the title of Christian.
​
Matthew 25
Matthew 25 is our year long school wide outreach and service project. Each month we partner with a different organization that meets the needs of a different aspect or stage of the human person, from the youngest to the oldest of our communities. Each grade rotates in the promotion, collection of items and delivery. Building upon Catholic Social Teachings and the Corporal Works of Mercy, we work to put our faith in practice. Matthew 25 has roots in the second half of the 25th chapter of Matthew’s Gospel where Jesus commands us to provide for the needs of others through Christian love and service.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you visited me, in prison and you visited me.”
Matthew 25:35-36
​
Our Green Team
Our school Green Team is made up of students, teachers and community members who work to care for God’s creation through campus wide recycling, education efforts, tending the school gardens, maintaining the outdoor classroom, and recently worked to help us become a certified Oklahoma Green School. This is in union with Pope Francis’ calls to care for our common home.
"As stewards of God's creation, we are called to make the
earth a beautiful garden for the human family.”
- Pope Francis
Community Prayer Line
To assist in praying for the needs of our community, we have a prayer line so we can build our community members up in prayer. If you would like to be added to our prayer line, please email this request to:

Discipleship
Through faith formation we strive to impart the importance of being a missionary disciple to all students. This is accomplished through following an Education in Virtue program, Sacrament preparation for First Holy Communion, Reconciliation and Confirmation, accompaniment through intergrade mentorship and daily religion classes.
​
Faculty Faith Formation
Once a month our faculty meets for a faith formation
meeting. This assists in helping our faculty to continue
their growth in a personal relationship with Christ and His
Church, as well as discovering new ways to incorporate
Catholic identity into all subjects.
​
Sacramental Preparation
Students in 2nd grade receive preparation for the
sacraments of First Communion and First Reconciliation.
Our 6th grade students partake in Confirmation
preparation. These lessons are built into the curriculum.
​
​
"The Catholic school can be such an aid to the fulfillment of the mission
of the People of God and to the fostering of the dialogue between the
Church and mankind, to the benefit of both, it retains even in our
present circumstances the utmost importance."
- Declaration on Christian Education from the Second Vatican Council
