Frequently Asked Questions

When I was in college, we dedicated the campus to Christ the King on the Solemnity of Christ the King. (Shout out to all the Benedictine College Ravens out there!) The dedication involved walking the mile around campus in a Eucharistic procession. The beauty and majesty of that experience sparked an ever-growing devotion to Christ as King and a love for this great feast day. So when I began to pray about the "perfect" date for my consecration, the Solemnity of Christ the King was obvious. As I've discerned and prepared for this vocation a deep love and devotion to the Sacred Heart has grown. That's why you'll see a lot of the sacred heart imagery on this site and at the Mass!

Everyone is invited. The Mass is open to the public and the reception is open to anyone who wants to celebrate. Bring your kids - the Mass might feel a bit long for young children, but we love the sound of little ones filling the church! Please RSVP by November 10 so we can plan accordingly.

For those who are Catholic: This is a Sunday Mass for the Solemnity of Christ the King. The consecration takes place after the Gospel and homily and lasts about 30 minutes. Which means the entirety of the Mass will be about 90 minutes. For those who are not Catholic: You are warmly invited to join in this celebration! We will have a worship aid/booklet which will explain what is happening throughout the ceremony. The Mass will include beautiful music, scripture readings, prayer, the consecration, and then communion. Receiving communion is a public testament to God and others that you believe in the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist and are in communion with the Catholic Church. Therefore, receiving Communion is reserved for Catholics who regularly attend Mass and are prepared to receive.

The reception will begin Immediately following the Mass in the North Hall of Christ King, located in the lower level of the school. We will serve dinner buffet-style. The reception will be casual and a good excuse to hang out with friends, celebrate God's goodness, eat good food, and dance! Menu: Italian Beef sandwiches with sides and cake. More detailed menu coming soon!

Gifts are not necessary, nor expected. Prayers, kind words, and your presence are the greatest gifts. Any monetary gifts received will be used to offset the cost of the reception and for future retreats/ongoing spiritual formation for Sarah.
