Considering Catholicism!
Invite a Family Member or a Friend to
“Consider Catholicism”!
Is someone you know wondering about your church, your faith, your beliefs, your Bible, your prayers, your worship services, or any other aspect of our Catholic religion? We have a casual process for such people to ask questions about our Catholic faith and practices. We are calling it “Considering Catholicism?” and are having sessions on Sunday mornings from 9:30am to 10:30am in the Activity Center with entrance between the school and the convent.
The sessions are hosted by Dcn Paul Mueller and Valerie Berry. You are most welcome to accompany your invited guest for their sessions. There is no session on Labor Day weekend but there will be sessions on Sundays, Sept. 10th, and Sept. 17th.
Care to know any more about these sessions? Please contact Dcn Paul Mueller in person, or at [email protected] or via phone at 248.891.9387.Looking Further Ahead!

Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today; for the women of Corpus Christi, and all women who will attend the Corpus Christi “Women’s Day of Reflection”; that they will be uplifted and filled with the Holy Spirit. Comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who seek thy intercession, we entrust to your intercession those we love and those who are sick, lonely, or hurting.

Eucharistic Adoration 
The Eucharist is being exposed on the altar in church on the following schedule:
Tuesdays: 6:00pm – 8:30pm
[Note: that’s a usual time for our neighborhood
Evangelization efforts so prayer support is appreciated!]
Thursdays: 9:15am – 12:15pm
[Note: Holy Hour for Priestly Vocations from 9:15am – 10:15am]
Saturdays: 1:00pm – 3:15pm
[Note: Confessions 1:00 pm – 3:45pm]One of the greatest treasures of the Catholic faith is the Eucharist. Ever since the Last Supper, the Catholic Church has believed that the Eucharist is truly the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. You are invited to come and spend time in adoration with Jesus at Corpus Christi as we begin to offer these new time slots for adoration. Ideally, we will have two people in the church before Jesus whenever adoration happens. On our parish website you will see two slots for each time. Please know that if the slot is filled there will still be plenty of room in church for you!
