Christ the King Church

About this church

Christ the King Church in Amherst, New York, is a Roman Catholic parish that celebrates Mass on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. (vigil) and Sunday at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Weekday Mass is offered Monday through Friday at 8:00 a.m., with an additional Wednesday Mass at 5:00 p.m. followed by walk-in confession. Reconciliation is also available by appointment through the parish office. The parish was founded in 1926 and belongs to a group of six parishes in the region known as the Bread of Life Catholic Community. All Masses are livestreamed, and a perpetual adoration chapel stays open around the clock.

First-time visitors are told that no one needs to be Catholic to attend, that Mass guides are placed in each pew, and that a Sunday Mass usually runs about an hour. Families with young children can use a crying room in the church library, where the Mass can be seen and heard. Faith formation is offered for children in kindergarten through eighth grade, high school students, Confirmation candidates, and adults entering the Church through OCIA. The parish also has a school and service groups that include St. Vincent de Paul, Respect Life, Holy Name, and the Rosary Altar Society. Mass times can change on holy days, so confirm on the parish website.
