Warm Send-off for Dcn Aaron!
Dcn Aaron was encouraged to accept a new position at The Basilica of Ste. Anne de Detroit and at Most Holy Trinity in Corktown. Those areas have many Spanish-speaking parish members and really need Spanish-speaking church ministers. Dcn Aaron speaks Spanish and makes a very fitting match for the needed ministry there. He has accepted the AOD’s invitation for that ministry and will start ministering there on July 1st.
Dcn Aaron will be serving at all our Masses on the weekend of June 24th and June 25th. A warm send-off is in the planning for that weekend so please join in wishing him blessings in that new assignment!
June 24th & 25th Graduate Recognition Weekend
Corpus Christi will be celebrating Graduate Recognition weekend on Saturday and Sunday, June 24th and 25th this year! We want to be sure to celebrate those from our parish who are celebrating a graduation from high school, college, or a professional program. To do so we need your help! If you would like your graduation recognized and celebrated at the parish, please be sure to visit the back of Church and fill in the “GRADUATION INFORMATION” sign-up sheet and then make sure the graduate comes to one of the parish Masses on the weekend of June 24th and 25th.

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!
