Welcome to Our Parish

MASKING ENCOURAGED
With the COVID risk so high right now, everyone in the body of the church is encouraged to wear a face covering during the celebration of Holy Mass as an act of charity and love. Thank you!

MASS TIME CHANGE AT CHRIST THE KING, BENTON
Saturday vigil Mass time will change to 4:00 p.m. with confession from 3:15 – 3:45.

THE GREETER MINISTRY IS RECRUITING
We are looking for greeters to help make all of our liturgies special.

THINKING ABOUT VOLUNTEERING? Maybe this will give you that much-needed push

NOTE: Additional information about the above and all our Parish events can be found on our Parish News page.

We are beginning our annual celebration of Catholic Schools’ Week on Sunday, January 30 at the 10:30 a.m. Mass. St. Columba School, through its teaching and atmosphere, is committed to passing on a living faith in Jesus Christ. St. Columba School invests in our future, which is our students. 

We take this opportunity to thank the parish for its support of our school, to thank the parents of our school children for believing in our school, to thank the students for their cooperation, and to thank the administration, faculty, and support personnel for their dedication. 

Contact the school for an in-person tour and to find out more information about their upcoming virtual Open House. 

February 3 is the feast of St. Blaise, the day on which we traditionally bless throats. The story is that St. Blaise miraculously cured a little boy who nearly died because of a fishbone in his throat. We pray that God will protect us through his prayer. “Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness.” We will bless throats after all the Masses the weekend of February 6.
