Anne des Pins was erected in 1883 at its present site, on land that would one day be shared with the church of Christ the King. On September 16, 1904, the Holy See erected the Diocese of Sault Ste Marie, appointing Bishop David Scollard as the first Bishop.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Eleven years later St. Joseph\u2019s Church was erected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On August 15, 1915, English speaking parishioners of Ste. Anne des Pins Parish signed an agreement that would see the building of an English speaking catholic church in Sudbury. The parish was declared under the title of St. Joseph\u2019s Church by Bishop Scollard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">St. Joseph\u2019s Church was officially opened on September 23, 1917. Masses were held in the newly renovated Jubilee Hall next to Ste. Anne\u2019s while the construction of the present building was beginning. Reverend Dean Crowley was the first pastor for the new church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The opening of a new English \u2013speaking parish saw many \u2018firsts\u2019 including St. Joseph\u2019s Church\u2019s first sacrament on July 29, 1917, with the baptism of Mary Lilian Grace Maloney, and on October 22, 1917, Patrick Gowan and Charlotte Agnes O\u2019Connor had the honour of being the first couple married in the church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Construction of a rectory for St. Joseph\u2019s Church began in July of 1920 and was completed by the fall of 1921.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also in 1920, the Catholic Women\u2019s League was organized for the parish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Construction on the Church basement began in the summer of 1923. This basement served as a temporary site for St. Joseph\u2019s Church while funds were being raised to complete the entire structure. By the end of January 1924, this basement was blessed and was opened for Masses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pope Pius XI instituted The Feast of Christ the King in 1925 in his encyclical Quas Primas. At the time of Quas Primas, many Christians (including Catholics) began to doubt Christ\u2019s authority and existence, as well as the Church\u2019s power to continue Christ\u2019s authority. This feast drew much needed attention to the all-embracing authority of Christ as King and Lord of all things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Construction was delayed numerous times due to the First World War, but on June 17, 1928 the cornerstone of St. Joseph\u2019s Church was laid. During the building of this church, the right wall blew out during a high windstorm that hit Sudbury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In time for Christmas celebrations, on December 23rd, the first Mass was held in the newly completed church. The architect for the church was P.J. O\u2019Gorman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">St. Joseph\u2019s Church ordained its first priest in the basement of the church. Reverend J.A. Mulligan was ordained on June 28, 1928.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On September 25, 1928, the new church bell was blessed by Bishop Scollard during a large ceremony. The bell was inscribed on one side with the names of the Bishop, Pastor and curate, as well as the date of the donation, and on the other was an inscription that read, \u201cThis bell was presented to St. Joseph\u2019s Parish, Sudbury, Ontario, by David B. Mulligan, Esq., Montreal, Canada.\u201d During the ceremony, the bell was rung for the first time by Dr. W.H. Mulligan, brother of David B. Mulligan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On September 29, 1929, St. Joseph\u2019s Church was officially dedicated and blessed by Bishop Scollard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When the much loved Bishop Scollard died in 1934, Bishop Ralph Dignan was appointed second Bishop of the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie on December 22, 1934.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 1935, to avoid conflict with another church in the diocese Bishop R.H. Dignan officially changed the name of the parish from St. Joseph\u2019s to the Church of Christ the King.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Entering the church of Christ the King in the white dress of a bride, Gertrude Dillon, received the habit of the Srs of St. Joseph in a solemn ceremony, the first of its kind in the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie in 1938.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>At this time she became known as Sr. Mary Catherine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On July 7, 1939, the First Diocesan Eucharistic Congress was held at the Church of Christ the King.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Catholic Youth Organization of Christ the King church started in the fall of 1946, serving the social and faith needs of young people in Sudbury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On October 30, 1947 the church was completely gutted by fire resulting in a financial loss of over $200,000.00. Through the efforts of the parishioners and the Father Humphrey, the building was restored. The rebuild architect was L.N. Fabbro. The Church of Christ the King was reopened in 1948.

Anne des Pins was erected in 1883 at its present site, on land that would one day be shared with the church of Christ the King. On September 16, 1904, the Holy See erected the Diocese of Sault Ste Marie, appointing Bishop David Scollard as the first Bishop.\u00a0 Eleven years later St. Joseph\u2019s Church was erected.\r\n\r\nOn August 15, 1915, English speaking parishioners of Ste. Anne des Pins Parish signed an agreement that would see the building of an English speaking catholic church in Sudbury. The parish was declared under the title of St. Joseph\u2019s Church by Bishop Scollard.\r\n\r\nSt. Joseph\u2019s Church was officially opened on September 23, 1917. Masses were held in the newly renovated Jubilee Hall next to Ste. Anne\u2019s while the construction of the present building was beginning. Reverend Dean Crowley was the first pastor for the new church.\r\n\r\nThe opening of a new English \u2013speaking parish saw many \u2018firsts\u2019 including St. Joseph\u2019s Church\u2019s first sacrament on July 29, 1917, with the baptism of Mary Lilian Grace Maloney, and on October 22, 1917, Patrick Gowan and Charlotte Agnes O'Connor had the honour of being the first couple married in the church.\r\n\r\nConstruction of a rectory for St. Joseph's Church began in July of 1920 and was completed by the fall of 1921.\r\n\r\nAlso in 1920, the Catholic Women\u2019s League was organized for the parish.\r\n\r\nConstruction on the Church basement began in the summer of 1923. This basement served as a temporary site for St. Joseph\u2019s Church while funds were being raised to complete the entire structure. By the end of January 1924, this basement was blessed and was opened for Masses.\r\n\r\nPope Pius XI instituted The Feast of Christ the King in 1925 in his encyclical Quas Primas. At the time of Quas Primas, many Christians (including Catholics) began to doubt Christ's authority and existence, as well as the Church's power to continue Christ's authority. This feast drew much needed attention to the all-embracing authority of Christ as King and Lord of all things.\r\n\r\nConstruction was delayed numerous times due to the First World War, but on June 17, 1928 the cornerstone of St. Joseph\u2019s Church was laid. During the building of this church, the right wall blew out during a high windstorm that hit Sudbury.\r\n\r\nIn time for Christmas celebrations, on December 23rd, the first Mass was held in the newly completed church. The architect for the church was P.J. O'Gorman.\r\n\r\nSt. Joseph's Church ordained its first priest in the basement of the church. Reverend J.A. Mulligan was ordained on June 28, 1928.\r\n\r\nOn September 25, 1928, the new church bell was blessed by Bishop Scollard during a large ceremony. The bell was inscribed on one side with the names of the Bishop, Pastor and curate, as well as the date of the donation, and on the other was an inscription that read, \"This bell was presented to St. Joseph's Parish, Sudbury, Ontario, by David B. Mulligan, Esq., Montreal, Canada.\" During the ceremony, the bell was rung for the first time by Dr. W.H. Mulligan, brother of David B. Mulligan.\r\n\r\nOn September 29, 1929, St. Joseph\u2019s Church was officially dedicated and blessed by Bishop Scollard.\r\n\r\nWhen the much loved Bishop Scollard died in 1934, Bishop Ralph Dignan was appointed second Bishop of the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie on December 22, 1934.\r\n\r\nIn 1935, to avoid conflict with another church in the diocese Bishop R.H. Dignan officially changed the name of the parish from St. Joseph\u2019s to the Church of Christ the King.\r\n\r\nEntering the church of Christ the King in the white dress of a bride, Gertrude Dillon, received the habit of the Srs of St. Joseph in a solemn ceremony, the first of its kind in the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie in 1938.\u00a0 At this time she became known as Sr. Mary Catherine.\r\n\r\nOn July 7, 1939, the First Diocesan Eucharistic Congress was held at the Church of Christ the King.\r\n\r\nThe Catholic Youth Organization of Christ the King church started in the fall of 1946, serving the social and faith needs of young people in Sudbury.\r\n\r\nOn October 30, 1947 the church was completely gutted by fire resulting in a financial loss of over $200,000.00. Through the efforts of the parishioners and the Father Humphrey, the building was restored. The rebuild architect was L.N. Fabbro. The Church of Christ the King was reopened in 1948. The first mass was celebrated on July 19.\r\n\r\nChrist the King has inspired the development of additional parishes in the community, including\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Clement in the West End of Sudbury in 1936. In 2002, St. Clement\u2019s Church amalgamated with Our Lady of Perpetual Help to become Our Lady of Hope.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Holy Trinity in the Donovan area of Sudbury in 1937.
