The Church's year concludes with the celebration that is the focus of our podcast this week - the celebration of Christ the King or Reign of Christ Sunday.

This celebration seems most pertinent in a time when we look at the world it would appear that good leadership is hard to come by.  

Christ the King Sunday was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 in response to the growing secularism and nationalism of that era; a time when Mussolini had come to power in Italy, Russia was controlled by the communist party, and an Austrian by the name of Adolf Hitler was beginning to make his presence felt.

Christ the King Sunday highlights what true leadership looks like by focusing on the one who came not to be served, but to serve.
