Adolfson & Peterson Construction breaks ground on multi-phase construction project for Christ the King church in Dallas

Adolfson & Peterson Construction broke ground on a multi-phased construction project for Christ the King Catholic Church and School in Dallas.

Established in 1941, Christ the King has been a pillar of the faith community, and through the school, has offered exemplary pre-K through 8th grade education to countless servant leaders.

The April 27 groundbreaking included the ceremonial shoveling of the dirt with church leaders including Very Rev. Anthony F. Lackland, V.F., pastor, school President Dr. Patrick O’Sullivan, church and school leadership, donors, parishioners and school families.

Construction will occur in phases and include the complete renovation of Christ the King’s Parish Hall, demolition of Bernadine Hall which will be replaced by a new, 25,000 square foot academic building, a new chapel, relocation of the church business office and the addition of a beautified courtyard outside of the sanctuary. Constructed nearly 80 years ago, Bernadine Hall served as the residences for the nuns up until the mid-1990s when the building was converted into classroom and library spaces for the lower school.

Beck Architecture is the project architect. Construction is slated to start this spring with a tentative summer 2026 completion.
