As we begin the season of Advent and a new liturgical year, the faculty, staff, and students of Christ the King Seminary would like to offer you a blessed season of hope and joyful waiting on the coming of the Lord! We also believe this new beginning of a season of expectation is the perfect opportunity to give you a brief description of seminary life today as compared to around fifty years ago, as well as offer you a glimpse into changes that will be forthcoming.

They are aware their response calls for compassionate listening and humble witness so that the Good News of Christ's resurrection may heal and creatively transform our wounded world.
