Community of Christ the King

The Community of Christ the King (CCK) was an Anglican religious order of Benedictine nuns near Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia. Founded in 1993, this enclosed and contemplative order was under the jurisdiction of the Anglican Church of Australia. The convent operated guest and retreat facilities and the sisters provided a ministry of spiritual direction.

The convent was located at the foot of the Warby Ranges in Victoria, Australia. The growing of produce provided some level of self-sufficiency and generated the labour needed to live the Rule of St Benedict. Silent retreats were held at the convent for visitors. The Revd Mother was Rita Mary CCK since 31 July 1997.
