Welcome to Christ the King

Rooted in Christ. Alive in Community.

For nearly 100 years, Christ the King has been a spiritual home for Catholics in Amherst and beyond. As the first parish in the United States to bear this name, we carry a rich legacy — and a living mission.

Our community is devoted to the Eucharist, committed to the sacraments, and passionate about creating a place where every person is welcomed, loved, and needed. While we remain deeply rooted in our own parish identity, Christ the King is also part of a family of five parishes working together in faith across our region.
