Join Our Year of Celebration!
In 1951 Truman was in the White House, the Giants were 7 years from moving to San Francisco, and in a little town called Pleasant Hill the parish of Christ the King was founded.
Fifteen years later, the Beatles borrow Candlestick Park from the Giants for a last concert, Market Street in San Francisco is torn up as construction on BART begins, and three local parishes cooperate to create St. Stephen’s Parish.
In 2026 we are celebrating these two milestone anniversaries together – 60 years for St. Stephen and 75 for Christ the King!
Together as one parish we want to honor the history of each church and the mission of both as we renew our commitment to making a difference as we hear the gospel and by living and loving in Christ.
Our year-long celebration began with the feast of St. Stephen this past December 26th and will conclude on the Feast of Christ the King the weekend of November 21-22, 2026. In between we will create opportunities to celebrate with worship, service, music and camaraderie to help us honor the parishes we were and the parish we have become.
In the spirit of celebrating anniversaries, we also will have the joy of honoring our very own CTK- SS religious leaders as they achieve milestones themselves. Fr. Paulson, Sr. Dominic, Fr. Gerry, Fr. Brian and Fr. Lee all have jubilee years of service to celebrate this year. In addition to celebrating 75 and 60 we will also be honoring 35, 50, 55, 70 and 20 years of service!
We are targeting activities that have something for everyone. In the works there is a family bingo night, a season of service during Lent, a special concert, a picnic on the lawn, a novena, and a celebratory Mass. Did you know that it is only a 2.5 mile walk along the Contra Costa Canal Trail that connects our CTK and SS churches? Let’s walk this path that joins our two places of worship together!
Check our anniversary website page to see how events develop and learn how you can take part in the plans we have underway. You can find our Anniversary Page by clicking here. Learn the histories of Christ the King and St. Stephen Churches. Engage with fellow parishioners as we play, pray, sing and eat together while Celebrating 75 and 60 Years! I invite all of you to help us make this a great year by participating in many celebratory events.
