Jeremiah, Prophet of Judgment and Hope
Last Sunday - despite the snow! - about 64 adults, 9 teens, and 12 elementary children attended the session on the Prophet Jeremiah.
What did the participants find meaningful? From the evaluations: Everything; the message; Deacon Aaron’s inspirational words about Jeremiah; the video; the historical information about Jeremiah; participants sharing in groups; individuals “reporting” from group discussions; and the kids’ presentation!

Have you picked up and started reading your “Holy Moments” book by Matthew Kelly at the back of church?
“What is a holy moment? A holy moment is a moment when you make yourself completely available to God. You set self-interest aside, you set aside what you want to do or feel like doing, and for that moment you do exactly what you sense God is calling you to do…” Matthew Kelly
Do YOU have a “holy moment” you would like to share? If so, please mail or email (in 50 words or less) your “holy moment” to be shared in the Sunday bulletin and our website. Please mail it to: Deacon Paul at Corpus Christi’s address, 19800 Pembroke, Detroit, MI 48219 OR email it to: [email protected].

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 Link to Bulletins For lots more news and information please see our bulletin. Click Here for CC Bulletins
