Christ the King Catholic Church weddings are celebrated Friday evenings between 5 and 8 pm or Saturday afternoons at 1:30 pm. Please contact the Father Matthew or Father Maddock at 785-273-0710 when planning a marriage.

Please call Christ the King before you book a date with your reception venue or hotel as our date availability for weddings fills up quickly and we might not have the date you are looking for. 

Marriage Preparation 

Marriage preparation begins with an initial consult with a Parish Priest. Dates are set after that initial interview. Please allow at least 6 months for marriage preparation. 

Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for pursuing the sacrament of marriage here at Christ the King. We are excited for you and want you to pray and celebrate the best liturgy possible, after you have prepared your mind, heart and body for the sacrament God has chosen for you!

Please click below to download our CTK Marriage Booklet or call our office at 785-273-0710 to request one to be mailed to you. You will have an opportunity to meet with the Music Director, the Parish Wedding Coordinator and a Church contact after visiting with the priest. This booklet will help guide you through the process.

Marriage is a Covenant

The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenantal union in the image of the covenants between God and his people with Abraham and later with Moses at Mt. Sinai. This divine covenant can never be broken. In this way, marriage is a union that bonds spouses together during their entire lifetime.

The sacrament of marriage is a visible sign of God’s love for the Church. When a man and a woman are married in the Church, they receive the grace needed for a lifelong bond of unity.

The love in a married relationship is exemplified in the total gift of one’s self to another. It’s this self-giving and self-sacrificing love that we see in our other model of marriage, the relationship between Christ and the Church.

Marriage is based on the consent of the contracting parties, that is, on their will to give themselves, each to the other, mutually and definitively, in order to live a covenant of faithful and fruitful love. (CCC 1662)
