Spring Clothing Drive
Saturday, May 16th
Our spring clothing drive to help those in need in our community
is scheduled for Saturday, May 16th, from 10:00 AM until 1:00
PM in the South Hall. We are looking for spring and summer
clothing at this time. You may also donate accessories (purses,
shoes, belts, etc.) baby and children’s clothing; blankets; kitchen
items; linens (sheets, towels, curtains, tablecloths, etc.) and small
working appliances. Please bring only clean, wearable and usable items. If you can't get to the drive on the 16th and would
like a pick-up, please contact Steve Obscherning at 414-5599146 by May 13th to arrange one. The less fortunate in our
greater community truly benefit from this drive, and we thank
you for your caring and continued generosity.
Oh good and gracious God, we thank you for all you have given
to us. We know that we are blessed with more clothes than we
really need. Help us to share with those who have very little. As
we stand before our closets and look at all we own, open our
hearts to the needs of others and help us to generously give to
our brothers and sisters in need. We ask this in Jesus' name.
Amen.
(This is a Human Concerns Sponsored Activity)
The pastor may nominate someone and Fr. Phillip has nominated Margaret Capper, current Trustee-Treasurer, to continue in
her role. She has been a member of the parish since 1996. After

It has four bedrooms and two bathrooms which the girls are thrilled about! The construction site is now a home for this
deserving family. Christ King is proud to have been a part of making this a reality for them.
After Arilynn and her family have some time to settle in, there will be a house dedication which is scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd. All volunteers and pastors from the three participating churches (Christ King, Wauwatosa Avenue United Methodist and Emmanuel Community United Methodist) are invited to attend this
event where the house will be blessed and gifts will be presented to the family.

Our parish has an active Prayer Shawl Ministry. Our members
have been prayerfully knitting and crocheting many lovely
shawls, lap robes and baby/youth blankets that we give to men,
women and children who are seriously ill, suffered an accident,
had surgery or had a difficult loss in their lives. We pray that
these items will bring comfort to those who receive them. Since
we started this ministry in 2008, we have given over 130 items.
We've also made hats, scarves and mittens that have been donated to St. Catherine's School, Kids Matter and Repairers of the
Breach. Feedback from past recipients has been very positive.
If you have a family member or friend who would benefit from
one of these items, please call Z Schaefer at 774-3345 or Pat
Krolikowski at 771-9189. We gather on the first Wednesday
morning of the month in the Parish Library. If you would like to
join our ministry, you may contact one of us. Thank you. This
is a Human Concerns ministry.

Becoming Catholic….
Have you ever thought about taking the next step? Perhaps you
have never been part of a Christian community or never been
baptized, but now you have felt drawn to begin this journey of
faith in Jesus Christ. Perhaps you’ve been baptized and raised in
another Christian tradition, but now you want to continue your
life of faith in the Catholic Church ... or at least explore what that
means. If either of these describes you, we would very much
like to hear from you. We want to listen to your story of faith or
non-faith, answer your questions, and share with you the beauty,
truth, and wonder of the Catholic faith. If you want to know
more, please contact the Parish Office at 414-258-2604.
Sacraments
Baptism: Please call the Rectory about the baptism preparatory
session, which must be completed before the baptism.
Arrangements should be made several months in advance. An
explanation of sponsor requirements is available at the Rectory.
Reconciliation: Individual Confessions are heard in church at
9:00 AM each Saturday and Thursday nights at 6:00 PM (unless
otherwise noted).
Marriage: Please make arrangements with a parish priest at
least one year in advance because of preparation requirements.
