    Christ the King parishioners march through the streets on their patron's feast day

    On the feast of Christ the King, the parish at 141 Marcy Place held its second yearly street procession, setting out after the 12:15 p.m. Spanish Mass. For half an hour parishioners walked the blocks around the church, singing hymns and praying mostly in Spanish, with some English. The pastor, Father Ambrose Madu, celebrated the Mass and gave the homily; he comes from Nigeria, was ordained for the Claretian Missionaries in 1996 and became pastor here in July 2022.
