History

Christ the King Mission in Benton, Pennsylvania, serves the Catholic community in the rural areas of Columbia County. While exact founding dates are not well-documented, the mission has been an integral part of the Diocese of Harrisburg's outreach to smaller, more dispersed Catholic populations. It operates as a mission, indicating a smaller community without a full parish structure but still offering essential liturgical services.[1]

Located in a serene rural setting, Christ the King Mission provides a venue for worship and community for local Catholics. It falls under the Columbia Montour Deanery, which coordinates various parishes and missions in the region. The mission does not have its own school but engages in religious education to nurture the faith of its members.[2]

The mission has been served by several priests from the Diocese of Harrisburg, including Father Donald W. Cramer II, who was there from 2006 to 2010 before his later laicization.[3]

This mission symbolizes the Diocese's commitment to serving even the smallest of Catholic communities, ensuring access to sacraments and fostering a sense of community.[4]
