The Parroquia Cristo Rey (Christ the King Parish) is a Catholic parish building in Mazatlán.
History
It opened on February 22, 1958.[1] The church has vivid stained glass windows, arched vaults and a bell tower more than 70 m (230 ft) high.[2] Before the founding of the Mazatlán Diocesan Seminary in 1959, seminarians slept in the Cristo Rey Parish, ate at the Mazatlán Sanatorium, among other temporary places.[3] For the seventh consecutive year, on December 21, 2021, tenor Jorge Echeagaray, musicians from the Camerata Mazatlán, singers from the Bellas Artes Opera Studio and the Ángela Peralta Choir participated in a Christmas concert in the parish. All the money raised from these events went towards the construction of the church.[4]
