Congratulations to the 2026 Christ the King Distinguished Graduate Jessica Sine Earley!

Jessica Sine Earley is a 1997 graduate of Christ the King School and continues to be active in the school and parish. Jessica is a lifelong parishioner and has celebrated all her sacraments at Christ the King Church. After graduating from Christ the King, Jessica attended and graduated Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School in 2001.

She received a BA in history from Loyola University in New Orleans and earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Oklahoma College of Law in 2010. Jessica and her husband, Jamie, have been married for 16 years and have three children who attend Christ the King School. Jane (8th grade), Nick (6th grade), and Drew (4th grade).

Jessica currently serves on the PTO Board as Technology Coordinator. During the COVID years she developed online platforms for school registration, fundraising needs, and spirit wear purchases. She continues to manage registration and other online activities. Some of the logos and graphics she created are still used in different ways, and her ideas and technology knowledge helped establish a foundation of the creativity that is used today. Her legal expertise comes into play in her PTO role as she is helping to rewrite the bylaws. Her past PTO experience has also included chairing the CK Golf Tournament, and she has given countless hours to many other fundraising events that have taken place.

Jessica’s time that she gives to the Christ the King community is not just with PTO. Jessica was instrumental in helping launch and lead a weekly bible study for junior high girls a couple of years ago which is still going strong today. She also gives her time to church ministry. She is a member of the ACTS Retreat Team and is currently on Core Team. She also has served on the St. Anne’s Society Board as Treasurer from 2018 - 2022.

Jessica currently serves as the Director of the Stay Housed Tenant Advocacy Center at Neighborhood Services Organization (NSO). In this role she leads the development and implementation of a brand-new eviction prevention program designed to keep families safely housed. She joined this organization in 2024, bringing nearly 15 years of legal experience focused on child welfare, family law and pre-litigation settlement. Jessica is an active member of the Housing Stability Coalition and the Oklahoma Bar Association’s Access to Justice Committee. She has worked as a public defender for parents with kids in DHS custody as well. It is obvious that Jessica has a heart to help others, and she is using her time, talents, and treasure to do just that. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society recognized her heart as they nominated her for the 2025 Visionary of the Year.

Jessica has impacted the Christ the King community as well as the larger community in such positive ways. She has put her faith into action through the many ways she serves, and her dedication to others is demonstrated daily. She truly models the school motto, “Everybody is somebody and All live for God”. We are blessed that she is part of the Christ the King family.

Jessica will be honored at the 10:00 Mass on Sunday, January 25th. We hope you can join us as we recognize her as the 2026 Distinguished Graduate Award Recipient. A reception will be held in the atrium after Mass.

It is with great pleasure that we announce the Christ the King Distinguished Graduate Award Recipient for 2025: Mary Kempf Pinzon!

Mary is a 1966 graduate of Christ the King School and continues to share her gifts of time, talent, and treasure with the parish community. She graduated from John Marshall High School in 1970 and then attended Oklahoma State University where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree. She continued her academic journey at Austin Peay State University for Nursing, and then received a master’s at University of Central Oklahoma. Mary and her husband, Dr. Pablo Pinzon, have three grown children, Pablo Pinzon, Juan Pinzon and Scott Fletcher. They also have one grandchild, Pablo Pinzon.

Mary has been very active in the Christ the King community for years helping in all different ways. She served as the parish nurse for many years beginning in the early 1990s and served in the Parish Health Ministry, which no longer exists. She has been on the Parish Council twice, once under the leadership of Father Gerald Mayfield and then again under the leadership of Father Rick Stansberry and Fr. Rex Arnold. In recent years she has been involved in the Afghan Refugee project, the Sanctuary Women’s Development Center, ACTS, the Homeless Alliance as a representative of Christ the King Parish, and is the first to say yes (after prayerful consideration) when called to do something for Christ the King. She is currently a Eucharistic Minister and has been for many years. She is also a lector for Mass. Mary was instrumental in planning the wonderful Legacy Reception this past June in recognition of so many of the families that have been part of Christ the King for the past 75 years.

Outside of Christ the King, Mary continues to share her time and talents with others. She has worked with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Operations Stroke where she was head of community education. She has sewn hundreds of cooling neck ties for US troops who were deployed to very hot areas in Iraq and then Afghanistan in the HUGS PROJECT. She has also used her sewing skills to sew tiny quilts for newly pregnant ladies for Willow Pregnancy Center. Mary has worked on numerous Habitat for Humanity homes and volunteered at the Olivet Baptist Free Clinic.
