The parish of Christ The King began with the inauguration of the GSIS- Holiday Hills Village in 1972. This is the first subdivision in San Pedro, Laguna established for GSIS members who were mostly government employees and military personnel. Initially, the village was made a part of the San Pedro Apostol Parish, whose church is quite a distance from the village.
As more villagers settled in the subdivision, they started to invite military chaplains to say mass at the village multi-purpose center. Eventually the newly organized homeowners’ association built and completed a chapel in November, 1976. The homeowners voted to adopt Christ The King as their patron saint. Bishop Pedro Bantigue officiated the enthronement of the patron saint during the first village fiesta. (As of this date, this is the only parish in the Diocese of San Pablo that is dedicated to the titular patronage of Christ the King.)
To prepare for the accommodation of a priest promised by Bishop Bantigue, the homeowners proceeded to construct the first convent. True to his commitment, Bishop Bantigue assigned a total of five priests to serve the community from 1976 to 1983.
On November 19,1983, Bishop Bantigue decreed the canonical erection of Christ the King Parish consisting of the GSIS-Holiday Hills Village, El Nor Subdivision, Adelina 1,1-A and 1-B subdivisions, Holiday Homes, SSS Village, Fiesta Homes, Holiday Hills Stock and Breeding Farm, the Sisters of Mary Immaculate and the Ursuline Sisters of Somasca. Rev. Fr. Marceline stayed on as administrator until 1985.
In 1987, the Oblates of St. Joseph (OSJ) started their spiritual ministry at the CTK Parish.
The present parish church was constructed in 1997 to replace the chapel constructed in 1976, to accommodate the increasing number of parishioners. The present three-storey convent was constructed in 2001.
In 1997, the villages of El Nor, Holiday Homes and Adelina were seperated from the parish to comprise the new parish dedicated to St. Martin de Porres.
But God was gracious to the parish. As subdivisions are built in the western part of San Pedro, new communities developed. Invariably their leaders asked for church services and the Bishop requested them to see the OSJ assigned to CTK. These have their own chapels and respective patron saints. They have their own schedules of masses. They celebrate the feast days of their patron saints, with the CTK OSJ priests actively overseeing all their religious activities. They likewise participate actively in all activities of the main CTK church. Their leaders also serve in the Parish Pastoral Council.
