Cathedral of Christ the King

The Cathedral of Christ the King was established in 1936, just as the country descended into the Great Depression. The parish took as its motto, Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat - "Christ is victorious, Christ reigns, Christ commands." 

The parish's first Mass was celebrated on August 15, 1936, in celebration of the Feast of the Assumption. There were about 250 families at the time; today, over 6,000 families are registered members of the parish. It was established as a co-Cathedral of the Diocese of Savannah, which spanned the State of Georgia, as a partner parish to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah.

In 1956, the Diocese of Atlanta was created, and Christ the King was raised to the status of Cathedral. 

Today, the Cathedral family consists of well over 12,000 registered parishioners, a preschool, a K-8th grade school, and dozens of ministries dedicated to knowing, loving, and serving as Jesus did.
