Memorials

Memorial gifts to Christ the King Catholic School meet two important needs. First, the gift allows you to remember a loved one and secondly, the gift supports CKCS's 60 years of educational excellence and service to the community. Memorial gifts may be restricted or unrestricted. Appropriate cards are sent to the bereaved family indicating your memorial gift was made without disclosing the amount of the gift.

Memorials should be sent to:
