Did you know that Christ the King - St Anthony Parish feeds the Poor and Homeless in the Burlington area? On the second Tuesday of the month for the months of May, August, November and February we become the hands and feet of Our Lord following His mandate to Feed His Sheep. We are reminded of the words in the book of Matthew 25:40; "And the king will say to them in reply, Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." If you are called to serve or to cook or bake something please contact the church office and let them know so we are able to plan meals for these events. Baked goods are always appreciated by the people we serve. Help us put our faith into action. We are scheduled to serve on the following dates for 2009. We serve at the Salvation Army facility on Bank Street in downtown Burlington.  May Our Lord bless you richly as our Parish Community reaches out to poor and homeless. Our suppers are planned for the following dates.

Father Daniel J. Rupp, our Pastor, welcomes you to the Christ The King - St. Anthony Parish web site!!!  We are delighted that you dropped by! OUR PARISH MISSION STATEMENT Christ the King – St. Anthony Parish in the spirit of Vatican II seeks to promote an active participating community of faith by spiritual guidance and growth through meaningful liturgies, sacramental celebrations, common prayer, and value oriented religious, academic and socially conscious programs in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.

The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC), established in 1972, conducts research, consultation, publishing and education to promote human dignity in health care and the life sciences, and derives its message directly from the teachings of the Catholic Church. The results of this research are available though this website and our various educational and publishing activities, workshops and seminars.

Today our society faces unprecedented scientific developments that penetrate the very mysteries of life and pose serious ethical challenges to human culture. The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) was established in 1972 to reflect on these developments and to promote and safeguard the dignity of the human person in health care and the life sciences. The Center is unique among bioethics organizations in that its message derives from the official teaching of the Catholic Church which draws from a moral tradition that acknowledges the unity of faith and reason and builds on the solid foundation of natural law.
 
The Center's staff consults regularly on life science issues and medical issues with the Vatican, the U.S. bishops and public policy-makers, hospitals and international organizations of all faiths. Vatican agencies which regularly consult with the Center include the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Pontifical Academy for Life and the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers.
 
The Center works to achieve its mission of defending the dignity of the human person in health care and the life sciences through educational programs, publishing, consultation and research. The Center publishes two journals (" Ethics & Medics" and " The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly") and at least one book annually on issues such as physician-assisted suicide, abortion, cloning, and embryonic stem cell research. Educational programs include the National Catholic Certification Program in Health Care Ethics and a variety of seminars and other events.

A survey, conducted in early April 2009 by Zogby International, shows that care for God’s creation and addressing the issue of climate change are important to Catholics in the U.S.  The vast majority of Catholics polled believed that their faith calls them to be concerned about how climate change impacts vulnerable people at home and abroad.  The poll indicates both a willingness and desire by Catholics to reclaim the scriptural mandate to care for creation—be good stewards of God’s gift of creation—and to sacrifice and actively engage in efforts that will ensure that the poor and vulnerable do not unduly suffer as a result of climate change
