Life after deathFr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
Please join me in praying more intentionally in the days to come
that people will come to see the truth of proposal three;
that they will experience the loving gaze of Jesus into
their eyes, heart and soul
and his revelation of the sacredness of life in the womb
from the moment of conception.

What: Light Supper and a documentary movie of Sister Thea Bowman,

To register for attending click on the button below.
The film features interviews and commentary from her family, Sisters in community, colleagues, friends, and former students. The story of a young girl whose faith in God led her to be a lively woman prophet in our own time. Input from African-American scholars, clerics and bishops will speak to the ongoing issue of systemic racism in the church and country. Extensive use is made of archival media that portrays Thea in action–photographs, film, video and audio recordings recorded in locations of significance to her life.

Isaiah: "I have called you by name."
"A child is born to us..."Sunday, November 13, 2022 at 12:30 pm
The words in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah have inspired many…even song writers. Maybe you remember singing hymns based on Isaiah or hummed the tune as you left church: Here I Am Lord by Dan Schutte; Come to the Water by John Foley, SJ; I Will Never Forget You my People (Isaiah 49) by Carey Landry; A Voice Cries Out in the Wilderness by Michael Joncas; and We Shall Draw Water Joyfully by Paul Inwood.
Come be inspired by the words of Isaiah and learn about this major prophet at the next Generations of Faith Session on Sunday, November 13.

Store Front Evangelization is one of many ways we can share the Good News of Jesus with others. Here’s how we do it at Corpus Christi. From 6:30pm to 8:00pm a few of us (two to four) stand in the lobby of a grocery store and do three things:- As customers come into the store, we offer them a cross on a chain that they can wear around their necks.
- When they stop and accept the cross, we ask if they have anything for which they would like us to pray. Then, of course, we pray for exactly that for them and with them! Sometimes that leads further conversation.
- We close out by offering them one of those small cards with our parish name and information.
They are very satisfying experiences, and we really enjoy doing them all year round. Curious? Care to try it for yourself? Want to know more about it? Feel most free to contact Dcn Paul Mueller at 248.891.9387 or [email protected].Eucharistic Adoration
It’s happening here at Corpus Christi!
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!
You can go directly to the adoration sign-up by clicking on the following button:Adoration Sign-Up Please Pray for …
