Contemplative Living Ministry (CLM)

In a world that often moves at a frantic pace, the Contemplative Living Ministry at Christ the King offers a gentle, grace-filled path to slow down, turn inward, and encounter the living God in the depths of our hearts.

Our mission is to help parishioners cultivate a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ through the ancient Christian practices of prayer, silence, and attentive presence. We seek to form a community of disciples who learn to rest in God’s presence, listen for His voice, and carry His peace into their families, workplaces, and neighborhoods.

Most of these activities are already happening at Christ the King. This ministry simply coordinates, publicizes, and deepens participation in them.

Core Activities

• Centering Prayer
• Spiritual Direction
• Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
• Quiet Days

All are welcome — beginners, seasoned pray-ers, young adults, parents, retirees — anyone drawn to a more contemplative way of following Jesus. Whether you are just curious or have been longing for this kind of spiritual depth, there is a place for you.

Stay tuned for additional contemplative opportunities as the ministry grows.
