976, Bishop Glennon P. Flavin sent young women to Pennsylvania who became the first School Sisters of Christ the King. The Community has since passed several milestones: the Motherhouse construction in 1992; Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters return to Philadelphia and the appointment of Mother Joan Paul, Superior General, in 1994; the Founder, Bishop Flavin's, death in 1995; approval of the Constitutions in 1996; and the first General Chapter in 2001. On Nov. 26, 2017, the School Sisters of Christ the King were established as a Religious Institute of Diocesan Right in the Diocese of Lincoln with permission from the Holy See.
The key elements of the Sisters' spirituality are belonging totally to the King, love for the Eucharist and the priesthood, zeal for souls, and devotion to Mary in the spirit of St. Alphonsus Liguori.
As daughters of the Church, we have Catholic Education as our specific mission. We strive to extend the Kingdom of Christ by laboring with zeal in Catholic Schools and other Religion Programs. Besides motherhouse duties and formation, the Sisters serve in schools and parishes in our Diocese of Lincoln.
- Saint Joseph School, Lincoln
- Saint Teresa School, Lincoln
- Saint Peter School, Lincoln
- Saint James School, Crete
- Saint Michael School, Lincoln
- Blessed Sacrament School, Lincoln
The Sisters also assist various other ways at:
- UNL Newman Center, Lincoln
- Diocesan Office of Religious Education
We serve in Saint James School in Saint Joseph Missouri, while attending Benedictine College. Our Sisters have also attended the Liturgical Institute and the Augustine Institute. Sisters are also studying at the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR) Theology Program at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Rome.
