Matthew 5:13 – 16
“You are salt and light”Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
This week pray with this question:
“Jesus, how can I seek to see things your way
and hold on to nothing else?”
It’s worth asking,
receiving and believing that we were made
to live by grace with a clean heart
and see God … in this life.Death Notice for Adele Waddell

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!
