This Gothic style church was constructed in 1941. It was the last of the "grand" churches to be built in Haddonfield. Christ the King parish was founded in 1927. The church was caddy corner-across the street, until it moved 67 yeas ago.

There is a very serene courtyard to the right with benches. I guess you could call it a meditation area. The church is huge and spectacular. There is stained glass which adorns either side of the main sanctuary of this Church, seven on either side. Additionally, there is one piece of stained glass, in the shape of a cross on the rear facade (front of building). The church offers a great link from their main web page to look at the stained glass and learn about their "story".

Rather than match up my pictures with the text from the page, it is recommended to visit the page itself and read about the religious significance of the glass. The website can be found here --> (visit link)

The church is also a pioneer is religious technology and has paved the way for remote broadcasting. In 1947, the first telecast of a Catholic Mass was broadcast from Christ the King Church over WFIL-TV. In June 2000, the first Nuptial Mass was broadcast live over the Internet from the Parish.

If you want to visit to look around or whatever, office hours are 9 AM - 4 PM (they are closed from 12PM - 1 PM for lunch) and of course during the regular worship hours. You can call for more details. 856-429-1600
