Each year during the season of Lent, the Corpus Christi Parish Social Justice Committee raises funds and awareness for worthy causes with our Lenten “Soup” Meal.
This year, in collaboration with the Ladies of St. Peter Claver Unit #247, we are having a Lenten “Hot Dog” Meal to support our sisters and brothers in the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux in Louisiana, particularly St. Lucy and St. Mark Parish’s, who have been effected by Hurricane Ida.
On March 26th after the 4pm mass and March 27th after both the 9am and 11am masses, we will have a Lenten Hot Dog Meal which includes a premium beef Hot Dog, your choice of chips, and a beverage all for $5, and best of all, 100% of the funds raised will go directly to support our sisters and brothers in need.
Romans 12:12 says, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer”.
Join us in bringing hope, love, and peace to our extended family in need by supporting these efforts to bring the healing power of Jesus through your acts of Almsgiving.
