It was revealed that the GKK started from Asuncion Bulol, a Passionist Congregation from Marbel led by missionaries, then was turned over to Holy Cross Parish, Calumpang in the year 1995 and then to Our Lady of Fatima in Barangay Fatima, General Santos City. It was officially established October 1978 and the members named the GKK Santo Rosario because of the De Vera Family always pray with a rosary. The formation of the GKK was vital to its members and to the parish because of its role and support in the church's kingly, priestly, and prophetic mission.
