Welcome....Our Parish strives to be a welcoming community that lives the Good News of the Gospel in its actions and programs. Whether you are looking for a new parish home, just visiting us for a short time, returning to the practice of your Catholic faith or are just wanting to find out more about the Catholic Church, our parish community are most happy to have you with us.
Through our parish we have the opportunity to grow spiritually and put our faith into action through giving some of our gifts of time and talents. We hope you will share your time and talents with us, your Parish family, friends and community, by participating in our various ministries, social services, activities and spiritual experiences. There is a wide range of activities (described in the Groups & Ministries section of this website), through which you may be able to do this. The amount of time and effort needed varies and there is something to suit many different life situations. There may be something that interests you. The opportunity is there for you to enrich your spiritual life in a practical way and to also increase your sense of belonging to our community. Please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Office if you need more information. May God Bless you and your Family, Fr Mark Percival, Parish Priest |

PARISH CWL FINAL FAREWELL
At the 9.30am Mass at Christ the King this weekend (11th April) we will be celebrating the contribution of the women (past and present) of the Graceville Corinda Catholic Women’s League. It all began at Graceville/Christ the King in 1959 as the Catholic Daughter’s of Australia. This eventually was renamed to the CWL and then grew and drew in members from all parts of the Parish when Graceville and Corinda became one, as we are today.
Our local CWL has decided to close, just like it has done in most Parishes across the Archdiocese. There is sadness in this of course, but above all there must be gratitude for what these women have given to so many for over six decades. It is this that I want to celebrate at the 9.30am Mass. The present members will keep meeting as friends, which is a good support to them in itself. I am certain that the Lord of Life will be with these ladies always, bringing from them goodness and kind acts of service to the Glory of God.
