BY WKC STAFF  

This year, Christ the King Catholic School in Madisonville has been holding their weekly school Masses outside under a tent. Masks are permitted to be removed due to being outdoors.

In these pictures, the school community attends Mass on Aug. 20, 2021, which featured the Gospel reading of planting seeds in soil or rocky ground. Pastor, Fr. Carl McCarthy, illustrated the Gospel with a bowl of rocks.
