Christ the King Parish was established in the Diocese of Covington on July 22, 1945. [1] [2] Initially, Mass and other parish functions were held in the chapel at St. Catherine's Academy. The Rev. George J. O'Brien was named the parish's first pastor but had to resign soon after because of ill health, being replaced by the Rev. Richard O'Neill. The parish moved to its current site on May 12, 1946, with parish functions held in a pre-fabricated structure. Christ the King School was opened in 1951 and the Sisters of Divine Providence formed the initial faculty. The present church and rectory were built in the Modern and Art Deco architectural styles from 1965 to 1967 for $1.5 million. [1] On January 14, 1988 Pope John Paul II established the Diocese of Lexington, [3] and Christ the King became the cathedral for the new diocese. The Cathedral Center was added to the parish facilities in 1992.
Like many other Catholic parishes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the cathedral rector was forced to limit how and when the sacrament of confession was exercised.
According to the cathedral's website, the cathedral parish "seeks transformation by the Holy Spirit to a parish focused on evangelizing, forming, equipping and sending forth missionary disciples of Jesus Christ into the world." [4]
