Committees
Formation and Discipleship Committee
This committee oversees the educational and formation opportunities in the parish, and primarily meets in teams. The children's ministry, youth ministry, and adult formation mission teams take an intentional look at our parish's role in advancing the discipleship and missionary focus of Christ King and Saint Bernard parishes. Each team evaluates how we can help parishioners and the community to seek Christ, connect with the Church and be equipped for mission, so they can be sent out into the world. These three teams meet 4-6x a year to evaluate current program offerings and new needs. For more information contact the Faith Formation office at 414-258-2604. Chairs: Rich Vetrano, EMAIL, 414-559-0547; Tim Garczynski, EMAIL, 414-750-2289
Hospitality Committee
This committee is the face of Christ King's welcoming evangelization. It coordinates new member registration and welcome, weekend fellowships, and other special events throughout the year. It continually explores new opportunities for the parish to reach out to parishioners and to the community. Chair: Julie Gundersen, EMAIL, 414-659-9033
Human Concerns Committee
This committee strives to help parishioners live out Jesus' call to be missionary disciples as an extension of God's love, compassion and mercy to neighbors near and far, and to help the parishes become informed and participatory in the Catholic Church's social justice teachings and initiatives. This is accomplished through direct service, education, prayer, and financial support. This is a combined outreach effort with the Saint Bernard Parish Human Concerns Committee.
