People Called to Speak and Act Generations of Faith 2022/23 Amos and Micah – Call for Justice
Amos and Micah are similar, yet different! They both came from villages in the southern kingdom of Judah and the messages of both were directed to the covenant-breaking Jewish people.
Amos was sent by God to the northern kingdom of Israel while Micah stayed in the south. Amos prophesized probably between 760 and 750 BC while Micah most likely preached from 735 to 700 BC.
Come learn more about these 2 minor prophets with major messages at the next session of Generations of Faith on Sunday, February 26, 2023 after the 11 am Mass - 12:30 to 1:45 pm.

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]
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!
