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! Click on the following button sign up on the parish website.
Summer Vacations so NO Email next Wednesday! The parish bulletin and parish website are not on vacation during that week so you can count on them to find the latest news.
Invite a Family Member or a Friend to "Consider Catholicism”
Is someone you know wondering about your church, your faith, your beliefs, your Bible, your prayers, your worship services, or any other aspect of our Catholic religion? We have a casual process for such people to ask questions about our Catholic faith and practices. We are calling it “Considering Catholicism?” and are having sessions on Sunday mornings from 9:30am to 10:30am in the Rainbow Room.
There will be a “Considering Catholicism?” sign on the door to help them find the room. The first session will be on Sunday, July 24thand will continue on most Sundays from then until September 18th.
Care to know any more about these sessions? Please contact Dcn Paul Mueller at [email protected].

“The Harvest is Abundant, but the Laborers are Few”
Sunday’s gospel about Jesus sending 72 disciples to alert people of his coming to visit their towns had that message that was true back then … and is still true today: “…but the laborers are few.” Did that gospel message possibly stir anything in your mind or heart? Corpus Christi is definitely recruiting more and more members to consider joining in some portion of our evangelization efforts.
