Free Supplies for Cancer Patients

Did you know that we have a large inventory of supplies available free of charge to cancer patients and their families? Please call and schedule a time to choose among our large assortment of hand knitted caps, wigs of all styles, prayer shawls, nutritional supplements, walkers, wheelchairs, and many publications from the American Cancer Society. Specially trained volunteers are  also available for one-on-one peer support. We will match you up with someone who has lived through a similar cancer experience; available to both patients and caregivers.
 
For spiritual support, please come by and pick up our special prayer packet which includes material on St. Peregrine, the patron saint of cancer patients, and the other saints featured in the shrine. Plus you'll receive a medal, prayer cards, a rosary and more.

If you cannot come by in person, we will gladly mail you any of the items above, postage paid!

Please call 480-844-4493, or email us at  Christ_the_King@ctk-catholic.org

everything to do

"When St. John Mary Vianney arrived at the obscure little village of Ars, someone said to him with bitterness, 'Here there is nothing to do.' 'Therefore there is everything to do,' replied the Saint.

"And he began immediately to act. What did he do? He arose at 2:00 AM in the morning and went to pray near the altar in the dark church. He recited the Divine Office and prepared himself for Holy Mass. After the Holy Sacrifice, he made his thanksgiving; then he remained at prayer until noon. He would be always kneeling on the floor without any support, with a Rosary in his hand and his eyes fixed on the tabernacle."

- from Jesus, Our Eucharistic Love, by Fr. Stefano Manelli, O.F.M. Conv., S.T.D.
