1976
 Bishop
Glennon Patrick Flavin founds the School Sisters of Christ the King. He sees
a need for religious women in the schools in the Diocese of Lincoln to carry
on the teaching of the Faith into the third millennium. He also sees that
Catholic Education is imperative to the training of an apostolic laity.
The first groups of Sisters to enter the School Sisters of Christ the
King were sent to Immaculate, Pennsylvania, to be trained under the guidance
of the
Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These generous
Sisters would train our fledgling group for many years to come.
The IHM's also assisted in staffing schools in the Lincoln Diocese
beginning in 1979.
1984
 Bishop
Glennon Patrick Flavin arranges for a temporary Motherhouse to be built in
Lincoln, in order to move the initial formation program to Lincoln. The
IHM's generously send Sister Regina Marion to be the formation directress in
Lincoln and to help the religious sisters to set firm roots in the Diocese.
1992
Bishop Glennon Patrick Flavin assists in the planning and building
process of the permanent Motherhouse just outside of Lincoln, Nebraska. His
vision of the Motherhouse is that it is home to all the Sisters, who return
to it every weekend for prayer, community life, study, leisure, and rest.
The construction of the Motherhouse enabled the Sisters to grow together
into a loving family.
1994
 Bishop
Flavin appointed Mother Joan Paul to be the Mother General of the Community
and appointed a Council to assist her. Sister Regina Marion returned to
Pennsylvania and ended the physical presence of the IHM Sisters in Nebraska.
Their spiritual presence remains to this day.
1995
On August 27, Bishop Glennon Patrick Flavin died. The School Sisters of
Christ the King were no longer with their founder. Before his death, the
Sisters were called to his home where he gave one last conference to them on
living community life as a family.
1996
Entrance into the Kingdom, the Constitutions and Customs of the School
Sisters of Christ the King, written by Bishop Glennon Patrick Flavin were
approved and distributed to the Sisters. This document, written by the
founder of the Community brought about a love for the liturgy and living
together as a family striving for complete holiness of life.
2001
 The
School Sisters of Christ the King hold their first General Chapter and elect
