Church Tour – Christ the King Church

Open wide the doors of Christ the King!
The nave is the largest part of the church.
The coats of arms of the bishops of Camden adorn the church’s ceiling.
The baptism font is located in front of the statue of the Virgin Mary.
The statue of St. Joseph is located in the devotional space to the right of the sanctuary.
The sanctuary is one step higher from the nave. It includes the altar and the ambo (from the which the Scriptures are proclaimed). The clergy and servers sit in the sanctuary.
The altar is the focus of the second half of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
The church includes two confessionals. The priest enters through the door nearest the sanctuary. The penitent enters through the other door. Inside, the confessional is divided by a wall with a sliding screen that allows for privacy or face to face conversation.
The clergy and other ministers prepare for the Mass in the sacristy.

The church was renovated in 2021 thanks to the generous donors of the Catholic Strong campaign. The renovation included repainting of the walls and refinishing of the floor, the installation of new pews, new confessionals, and all new sanctuary furnishings, including the altar and ambo.
