The fundraiser and membership drive will run 8 to 11 a.m. and from 3 to 6 p.m. each of the three days. During those periods each day, the station’s regular programming will be “interrupted” with stories from friends and neighbors, highlighting the impact of guardian angels.
The live broadcast will air from longtime business sponsor Operation Phantom Support in downtown Killeen. “We are going to enjoy some of these stories,” said the station’s executive director, Tom McNew. “They are going to be joyful, borderline miraculous, and inspirational. I am anticipating a whole lot of laughter, some amazement, and some tears of joy as we share these stories.”

Dear Parishioners,
We are reaching out to invite you to support our Cru Catholics at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (UMHB) by providing meals for their weekly gatherings this Fall 2024 semester. This is a wonderful opportunity to serve our young adults and be part of their faith journey by offering them the nourishment they need as they come together for fellowship and spiritual growth. We are seeking volunteers to provide meals on any of these dates. Whether it's a homemade dish or a catered meal, your generosity will be greatly appreciated by the students. If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact Mary Arriola @miaj6132000@yahoo.com to sign up for a date. Thank you for your continued support of our parish ministries and for helping to nourish the faith of our college students!
August is National Make-A-Will Month, a time to be thoughtful stewards of God’s greatest gifts — our families, many blessings, and faith. Nearly two-thirds of American adults don’t have a will, and we want to empower 100% of our parishioners at Christ the King to prayerfully plan for their future and protect their loved ones.
The Diocese of Austin offers an online will-writing tool to make the process of creating a will free for our parishioners at CTK. Log on to FreeWill.com/AustinDiocese to get started.

"Dear Heavenly Father, As the academic year draws to a close and students prepare to travel home for the summer, we lift them in prayer. We ask for your guidance and protection over each student, especially those who are graduating or transferring to new places. Grant them strength and wisdom as they embark on new journeys and face new challenges. We also want to extend our gratitude to the Student Leadership Team for their dedication and service. Thank you for their commitment to our ministry and for the ways they have helped make it possible. Bless each student with safe travels, restful breaks, and meaningful experiences during the summer months. May they return refreshed and ready for the adventures that lie ahead. In your holy name, we pray. Amen." L-R:
