Year that CK was founded or started
What is 1936 (1937 the school opened)
Established in 1936 during the Great Depression, Christ the King opened its doors with a shortage of resources. The first pastor, Farther Patrick J. Gleeson, served without a salary during that time. The first daily masses were offered in the chapel at Little Company of Mary Hospital. Sunday masses were held at the Vanderpoel School auditorium.
In 1937, construction was completed on a combination church-school building, and the parish began to thrive. A convent was added in 1940, with the Sisters of Mercy serving as teachers in the school. By the early 1950s, the CK community had outgrown their original building. They needed a new rectory, church, and more school space, which they built during that decade.

How much money was raised by donors to complete the "CK2050" campaign and the construction of the Walsh Center?
$5.6 million over five years (was originally $3 million to be completed in three years)
The CK2050 fundraising campaign began in 2016 as a result of the community’s desire to address the Energy, Safety, and Capacity concerns of the parish school.
As a result of the campaign, the process included bridging the school and convent to give the secure entrance that modern school buildings are able to provide.
The complete gutting and renovation of the convent will give us the needed capacity to properly house kindergarten classrooms as well as a new music room, a new art room, and a new library/media center.
These additions will complete the project that began with a completely new heating, cooling and lighting system for the school. The campaign also provided a desperately needed new sound system for the church.
