Who we are
Christ the King Parish was formed on Sunday, July 22, 1945, when the first Mass was held in the Chapel of St. Catherine’s Academy on North Limestone Street. The first pastor, Father George J. O’Bryan, led the original congregation numbering about 100. Due to Father O'Bryan's ill health, the Rev. Richard Garland O’Neill, a Lexington native, soon replaced him.
On May 12, 1946, services were conducted for the first time at our current site, Colony and Providence Roads, in a prefabricated structure. The building, which eventually had two additions built onto it, was moved here from the Diocese of Covington. Christ the King School began classes in the present school building in the fall of 1951, staffed by the Sisters of Divine Providence. From 1965 to 1967, the current church, in a contemporary cruciform design, and the rectory were constructed at a cost of $1.5 million. They were dedicated in May 1967. The Diocese of Lexington was formed on March 2, 1988, encompassing a 50- county area of Kentucky with the Most Rev. J. Kendrick Williams installed as bishop and pastor of the Cathedral of Christ the King. That same year the Baptistry was converted to the Eucharistic Chapel to serve as a 24-hour prayer center for the parish.
The Cathedral Center, adjacent to the church, was completed in August, 1992. During the Jubilee Year 2000, a renovation of the school and office facility was initiated. In 2010 CTK began its Honoring our Past Building our Future campaign, which enabled the additions of our St. Kevin Adoration Chapel, a new Baptistry and a new Rectory to our cathedral campus.
Vision Statement
The parish of Christ The King seeks to be a faith-filled community living the message of Jesus Christ. We are a people of God gathered together to celebrate the Eucharist, to serve one another and to give service to the community by providing spiritual growth, faith formation and outreach ministries to all God's children. We endeavor to create a parish community where all will feel called to participate fully, knowing that on earth God's work must truly be our own.
