On Saturday, May 17th the Cristo Rey
Parish celebrated another milestone in its 75-year history. Not
measured by years but rather by love of God and deep faith, 32 adult
and 40 teen parishioners gathered to receive the sacrament of
Confirmation. On the Thursday evening prior to their Saturday
Confirmation, the 72 to be confirmed gathered with their pastor
Augustinian Recollect Fr. Michael Stechmann and their teachers and
sacramental coordinators gathered for Mass and to go over last minute
details before the Confirmation. Cristo Rey Church, though quite
small, is a deeply revered by parishioners and is a focal point for
the local community.
