The Eucharist: In the Warmth of His Presence
Generations of Faith 2023/24 Pope Francis: “For in the warmth of His presence, our lives change.” (June 19, 2022)
Attendance at last weekend’s Generations of Faith Session included about 60 adults, 16 youth, and 6 elementary-age children.
The Rainbow Room was filled with the adult voices joyfully singing five Eucharistic hymns and sharing their insights about the message of the composers.
After our individual sessions, the adults, youth, and children went to church to experience our sixteen-youth acting out the parts of the Mass.
Then it was off to the gym for another delicious lunch…so many dessert choices!
A special thank you to all who attended one or more of the five Generations of Faith sessions; to the dedicated catechists who prepared lessons for each session; and to the many volunteers who helped everything run smoothly.
The Lenten Reconciliation Service, with individual confessions, will be on Saturday, March 23rd, 10:30am to 11:30am. It will be in church at Corpus Christi.

Eucharistic Adoration
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!
You can go directly to the adoration sign-up by clicking on the following button:
