???ARE YOU CURIOUS???
Join us in exploring the Passover and the Jewish roots of the Holy Thursday Liturgy on Thursday, April 14 at 6 pm in the Rainbow Room. Leading our journey of discovery will be Dr. Andre Villeneuve, theologian, biblical scholar and Associate Professor of Old Testament and Biblical Languages at Sacred Heart Major Seminary.
Andre’s main areas of interest include the study of Sacred Scripture, the Jewish roots of the Catholic Faith, and fostering the reconciliation of Israel and the Church through the work of Catholics for Israel (www.catholicsforisrael.com). He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Association of Hebrew Catholics and a Senior Fellow at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology.
The Corpus Christi Hospitality Committee is pleased to be able to bring Andre to our Parish for this special presentation on Holy Thursday evening which, this year, is the eve of the Passover celebration. Participants will be able to ask questions at the conclusion of his presentation. We will be serving only a variety of beverages due to the fasting observation prior to Eucharist. We hope to see you there.

Really, what are the gifts, charisms, or skills that you have already received from the Holy Spirit? Oh, really?!?! How about spending some time identifying and/or verifying them? The next question is then key: “How can I use them here in the Kingdom of God … in the parish … in the community … or in …?”
Corpus Christi Annual Women’s Retreat
You are invited to join women of Corpus Christi on a spiritual retreat at the Capuchin retreat center in Washington, MI, May 13-15, 2022. (This is not Mother’s Day Weekend.) To register and find out more details, contact Brenda Martin, available after Mass or call 248-943-0974. Partial scholarships are available, and Brenda will have these forms for you to complete.
The purpose of a retreat is to break away from the distractions of everyday life to communicate more closely with God. The theme of the retreat is: ”I will be with you always.” (Matt. 28:20) On this retreat we invite you to “let go—let God”. God is here right now and present. What helps us to hope and know that God is with us, is present in every age and moment? In the moments of uncertainty, we are called to trust the Lord. Trusting that God is with you gives you a freedom to let go and place your life in God’s hand.Soccer In The D
