Last Updated: September 2026
Christ the King Catholic Church (“Christ the King,” “CTK,” “the Parish,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information entrusted to us.
This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit our website, submit information through an online form, register for parish programs or activities, make an online payment or donation, or otherwise communicate with us electronically.

- Name, mailing address, email address, and telephone number;
- Information submitted through contact or inquiry forms;

- Information about parents, guardians, and minor children when registering for parish programs;

We ask that you provide only the information reasonably necessary for the parish service, ministry, program, or activity involved.
How We Use Your Information
Christ the King may use information we collect to:
- Respond to questions, inquiries, and requests;
- Register individuals and families for parish programs, ministries, events, and activities;
- Administer religious education, sacramental preparation, and youth ministry programs;

We do not sell or rent personal information.
Online Giving and Payments
Christ the King may use third-party service providers to process online donations, registration fees, religious education payments, youth ministry payments, and other transactions.
When you make an online payment or donation, payment information such as a credit card, debit card, or bank account number may be collected directly by the applicable payment processor. Christ the King does not ordinarily receive or store complete payment-card information submitted through a third-party payment service.
Information submitted through a third-party payment service may also be subject to that provider’s privacy policy and terms.
Email and Text Communications
If you provide your email address or telephone number, Christ the King may use that information to communicate with you regarding parish programs, ministries, events, registrations, volunteer opportunities, announcements, or other parish matters.
If you consent to receive text messages from Christ the King, message frequency may vary and message and data rates may apply.
Mobile telephone numbers and SMS consent information will not be sold or shared with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
Where applicable, you may opt out of text messages by replying STOP. You may also contact the Parish to request that certain communications be discontinued.
Parish email communications may be delivered through Mailchimp, as described in the Cookies, Analytics, and Website Information section below.
Children and Youth
Christ the King serves children and families through religious education, sacramental preparation, youth ministry, and other parish programs. As a result, the Parish may collect information about minors when a parent or legal guardian registers a child for a program or activity.
Parents and guardians should provide information on behalf of minor children when completing online registrations unless otherwise directed by the Parish.
Our general website is not intended to solicit personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement. If we become aware that personal information has been collected directly from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.
Photographs and Video
Christ the King may photograph or record parish programs, liturgies, events, and activities. Photographs or video may be used in parish communications, on the Parish website or social media accounts, in parish displays, or in educational or promotional materials.
For programs involving minors, the Parish may request permission from a parent or guardian before using a child’s image, consistent with applicable parish and Archdiocesan policies.
