Habitat for Humanity Good News
Our homeowner, Arilynn Harris and her four daughters moved
into their new Habitat for Humanity home on April 2nd. 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.

Christ King Parish is happy to
have been supporting Habitat for
Humanity in many ways since
1996, helping people achieve
their dream of owning their own
home. Congratulations to Arilynn and her girls.

Next Sunday is Share Sunday. Monies collected in this monthly
appeal are distributed to several food programs for the needy.
Boxes for your contributions will be located in the vestibules of

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
Margaret and her husband Paul married, they became members

day school. Margaret is a Vice President at Northshore Bank and
Manager of Commercial Lending.

St. Vincent de Paul
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.

Habitat for Humanity Award
On April 22, 2015 Christ King received the “Community Builder of the Year” Award from Milwaukee Habitat for
Humanity. The award recognizes the longtime contribution of CK parishioners, alongside other denominations in
the Wauwatosa and Milwaukee area, who have committed to the mission and work of Habitat. Thanks especially
to Sue Schmitt who has driven the work of CK and its commitment to the excellent work of Habitat for Humanity.

Monthly Blood Pressure Screening
We all have our Highs and Lows! Christ King Blood Pressure Committee has restarted the program. Would you
like to have your Blood Pressure checked by trained professionals? Please come to the Parish Center between
the 8am and 10:30am masses on the fourth Sunday of

Tootsie Roll Drive
.The weekend of May 2 & 3, after all masses, the Knights
of Columbus will be accepting donations for their Developmentally and Cognitively Disabled programs at Christ
King as well as other Milwaukee area organizations. The
Christ King SPRED program is a direct beneficiary of part
of these donations. Please consider a donation to the
Tootsie Roll Drive and accept a Tootsie Roll as the
Knights of Columbus’ way of saying ’Thank you” for your
contribution!
Low Gluten Hosts
“For bread to be valid matter for the Eucharist, it must be made solely of wheat; contain enough gluten to effect the confection of bread.”
--“Celiac Disease, Alcohol Intolerance, and the Church's Pastoral Response”
from the Committee on Divine Worship Newsletter, October 2012 © 2012,
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
The Church reminds us of this fact on a fairly regular basis. But this is of concern among an escalating number of Catholics
who suffer from Celiac Sprue disease or some form of gluten intolerance.
In an attempt to try to be more inclusive of those who are so afflicted, low-gluten hosts will be made available at the Sunday
Masses, beginning this weekend. These hosts are not gluten-free, though the level is extremely low (less than twenty parts
per million [<20 ppm]) and are therefore in strict adherence to Canon Law.
If you are intolerant of gluten and would like to receive one of these hosts, the priest will have them available in his ciborium.
Get into his line at the Communion procession and indicate this fact when you receive. The hosts will be placed in a special
container to help minimize cross contamination.
The reality is that the trace amounts of gluten that is contained in the low-gluten hosts or the residue that may cling to Father’s hands after handling the regular hosts may still make it impossible for some to receive the Holy Eucharist under the
form of bread. If this is the case, we encourage you to receive the Blessed Sacrament under the form of wine, and remind
you that the Church teaches that under either species of bread or wine, the whole Christ is received. Therefore, be confident
that the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is received, even under only one or the other species.
You are Invited
Come to the Parish Library and check out our newest CareNotes. These small pamphlets are full of wisdom and
offer hope and compassion to the reader. Take one for yourself or give one to a friend. Some of the newest titles are, “Overcoming Everyday Anxiety”, “Addiction, Grace and Healing” and “Walking with God through Grief
and Loss”.

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.
We Make House Calls
We’d be happy to do so. There are a number of parishioners
who are active Eucharistic Ministers to the sick and homebound.
They would like to make a visit to chat, pray and bring communion. If you or a family member or neighbor would like to arrange for a house call, please call the Rectory at 258-2604.
