Christ the King Parish is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saint Augustine, located in the Arlington section of Jacksonville, Florida, in Duval County. The parish is dedicated to the feast of Christ the King, which celebrates the kingship of Jesus Christ over all creation, and serves Catholics living within its assigned territory on the city's east side.
Founded in 1954, Christ the King Parish was established to serve the growing Catholic population of Arlington as Jacksonville expanded eastward across the St. Johns River in the mid-twentieth century. The parish has since remained a stable presence in the neighborhood, offering regular sacramental life and community ministries to area families.
The parish continues to serve as a territorial faith community within the diocese, administered by diocesan clergy rather than a religious order.
History
Christ the King Parish was established in 1954 by the Diocese of Saint Augustine to meet the pastoral needs of Catholic families settling in the Arlington area of Jacksonville following post-war residential growth east of the St. Johns River.[1] The Diocese of Saint Augustine, the oldest diocese in the continental United States, has overseen Catholic parish life in northeast Florida since the nineteenth century, and Christ the King represents one of the mid-twentieth-century parishes founded to accommodate the region's suburban expansion.[2]
No further parish-specific historical milestones, such as construction dates for the current church building or a full list of founding pastors, are publicly documented in the sources available for this article. According to available information, the parish has functioned continuously as a territorial parish since its founding.
