HISTORY
OF CHRIST THE KING
On Christmas day in 1958 the first
Mass was celebrated for the new community of Christ the King. The Mass setting was in a
classroom in the old Harmony School that the parishioners worked hard to refurbish and remodel.
By October of 1960 there was a
need for a larger place and a temporary church was built. Today this is used as the gym and
meeting hall.
In 1964 the Parish school was
built. Today it has an enrollment of 230 students.
In 1974 there were 700 families
registered in the parish. The community continues to grow in its many liturgical, educational
and social activities.
The current church building was
dedicated on April 15, 1980. By July 1985 about 1200 families were
registered.
Today both the church and the
school continue to be a vibrant presence in the North Clackamas community.
