Sunday, March 3rd after the 11 am Mass is the next session of Generations of Faith. The topic for the adults is Singing our Faith. Every music composer writes lyrics that send a message for the mind or heart or probably both! Come and sing a few hymns with a Eucharistic message; reflect on the words; and share in small groups what message you heard or felt from the hymn. Michelle Baines has agreed to lead the singing!
Primary and Middle School students: continue with the Joy of the Mass as they reflect on how Jesus, the Light of the World, wants us all to go out and help others (the Concluding Rites of the Mass).
Youth: the Fruits of Communion.
Special bonus: the teens will present a skit that summarizes our learnings from the five sessions about the Eucharist. Music will be involved! Raffle: four special crosses will be raffled off at the end of this Session. You must be present to win!

Eucharistic Adoration
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!
