A reverent and welcoming parish in Amherst, NY, where Christ is adored, the sacraments are celebrated, and all are invited to belong.
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.
We’ve made it easy to take your next step at Christ the King — whether you’re looking for Mass times, registering as a parishioner, or preparing for a sacrament.
Growing closer to Christ means sharing your gifts. Explore ways to learn, serve, and connect — no matter your season of life.
When you give to Christ the King, you’re helping us celebrate the sacraments, serve those in need, and keep our parish a place of prayer, welcome, and hope. Every contribution, large or small, supports the mission Christ has entrusted to us.
A vibrant Catholic education rooted in faith, academics, and character—serving students from Pre-K through 8th grade.
