Our goal is to enhance the lives of senior adults by ministering to their physical, mental, spiritual, educational and social needs. We offer many programs not only to the senior adults of our parish, but to those in the wider community as well. If you would like more information or to volunteer, or if you know someone who might benefit from any of our programs, please contact the Office of Parish Life.
Home Maintenance
Experienced volunteers help parishioners with minor tasks and home repairs. We are always looking for handy men and women who would like to volunteer!
Hot Meals Delivery
Hot meals prepared by the Oklahoma County Senior County Nutrition Center are delivered to approximately twenty shut-in individuals each weekday by our volunteers. We are always in need of parishioners who want to deliver meals on a weekly, bi-weekly or substitute basis. For information about volunteering for this wonderful ministry or to learn how to contact the Senior Nutrition Center to obtain hot meals for a loved one in need, please contact Pam Rogers or for delivery driver's schedules please contact Kathy Arambula.
Intergenerational Programs
In fellowship with Christ the King School, this ministry unites senior adults of the parish with young students to enrich both generations.
The Parish Star program pairs senior adults with students in Kindergarten through the second grade. Seniors and their students exchange greeting cards for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day and Easter and sit together at Mass on New Life Day in May.
Junior high students participate in the annual Life Story Project, in which they interview a senior adult and write their life story for inclusion in a specially published book. The stories are fascinating and often humorous, and the experience invariably leads to a greater appreciate of each generation for the other. The Life Story Book has been featured in a Sunday Oklahoman article!
Liturgies for the Homebound
Homebound persons may also watch a live stream of the 10am Mass on Sundays HERE.
Senior Adult Luncheons
Join us at noon on the first Monday of each month for our Sr. Adult Luncheon. It's potluck, so please bring something to share. We'll also play trivia. Call the Parish Life Office with questions: (405) 842-1483.
Transportation
Volunteers drive the Christ the King bus to provide a ride for parishioners to the Senior Adult Ministries Luncheon, weekend Liturgies, and other parish functions. Our van is equipped with a wheelchair lift.
