Celebrate the Feast of Christ the King!

11:46 AM | Posted by |
Dear Parents,
In just a few weeks we will be ending the Church’s liturgical year with the Feast of Christ the King and opening the new liturgical year with Advent and the coming of Christ on Christmas. So why do we celebrate the feast of Christ the King at Everest Academy?

I am sure you have all heard your children say their prayers and end them with this phrase: “Christ Our King! Thy Kingdom Come!” Christ is a model for our students and families and we encourage our students, through spiritual formation, to experience Christ as a friend and guide in their lives. Christ is the King, the Lord of History, and the focal point of our faith. By invoking him as King we also ask that his kingdom comes here on earth through faith, hope and love, and that one day we may all be with him in his kingdom - heaven. With this phrase we state that we have a mission in life and someone that unifies us in that mission.

Each year we come together as a community to celebrate this great feast. There is a Mass at Holy Name Cathedral and a reception to follow at US Cellular Field. Enclosed you will find the invitation. All the families that participated last year truly enjoyed the party and are eager to join us again. The get-together was fun for both parents and children. Please join us in this family-friendly environment to close this liturgical year and to thank God for all his many blessings.
Your friend in Christ,

Father Andre LaSana, LC
