Solemnity of Christ the King
November 21, 2021
The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Jesus is fully God and fully man. He is both the divine Lord and the man who suffered and died on the Cross. In him, one person of the Trinity unites himself to human nature through the Incarnation and reigns over all creation as the Incarnate Son of God.
When we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King, we declare to the world and remind ourselves that Jesus is the Lord, not only of the Church, but of the universe. 🕊👑🌎

Eucharistic Miracle Display
Eucharistic Miracle Display:
The Knights of Columbus Council #4057 is sponsoring a display of Eucharistic Miracles from around the world. The display features detailed panels highlighting some of the most powerful Eucharistic miracles of the world. Each panel tells the story of a Eucharistic miracle and is accompanied by photos and artwork. The display will be at the parish Christ the King Sunday in the Warrell Social Hall:
November 20: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. November 21: 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Books detailing the miracles on display will also be available for a donation of $25.
What is a Eucharistic Miracle? Eucharistic miracles consist of unexplainable phenomena occurring after transubstantiation, such as a host visibly transforming into human tissue, a host surviving fire, a host bleeding or the Eucharist alone providing sustenance to a human being for a prolonged period of time. In order to be considered a Eucharistic miracle, the event is investigated by a special task force before deciding it is worthy of belief. Secular sources are often used to investigate and confirm the miracle. Belief in approved miracles is not mandated by the Catholic Church, but can reassure believers of God’s presence in our world.
