Emmaus Lenten Faith-Sharing Groups 
250th Anninversary of the writing of
Amazing Grace
This Lent we are having Emmaus Faith-Sharing Groups at various times throughout the week. You are invited and encouraged to join one of the groups. This year we are experiencing Amazing Grace in our lives and in the lives of others. The groups are viewing a short video, reading and discussing scripture passages and questions, and spending some time in prayer. Groups have already started and will continue for four or five more weeks.

Amos and Micah – Call for Justice
Last Sunday - about 60 adults, 12 teens, and 12 elementary children attended the Generations of Faith session on the Prophets Amos and Micah.
After praying with the hymn “The Lord Hears the Cry of the Poor”, the adults watched two videos from the Bible Project which summarized each book (Amos and Micah). We also looked at the evidence both prophets used to prove that the Israelites were breaking God’s covenant and examined the consequences from God because of their law breaking. We then stepped into the shoes of Amos, called for justice in our world today, and named areas of injustice in our city, country, and world.
Finally, the teens “tested” the adults’ knowledge by reading 13 scripture quotes…was the quote from Amos or Micah or Jesus? Some quotes were easy to attribute to the author; others not so much!If you would like to see the videos and the handouts, click on the button below.
Mark your calendars for the next Generations of Faith session on Sunday, March 26, 2023! We will be shifting to the New Testament and reflecting on the messages of the Prophetess Anna and the Prophet John the Baptist - same time, same place, same caterer!Videos and Handouts The Wisdom of a Saint

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]
Saturdays: 1:00pm – 3:15pm
[Note: Confessions 1:00 pm – 3:45pm]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!
