1. CSA Update from Fr. Patrick
A big thank you for helping contribute to our Fall CSA Campaign at Corpus Christi. The parish goal was $43,890, which indeed is difficult to reach in my opinion given the pandemic circumstances. The total pledged thus far is $21,380, which all things considered, is very good I think. While our Fall Campaign has officially ended, please know that you can still contribute by clicking on the button below to access our easy to use online giving link. Just be sure to identify "Corpus Christi Catholic Church" as your organization.Click here for on-line giving
2. Invitation to Healing Service
This Saturday, November 7th at 6:30pm there will be a healing service at Corpus Christi. If you would like to attend, please RSVP (100 person max capacity) and be assured that COVID-19 protocol will be in place to ensure as safe an environment as possible. A few weeks ago I got some practice leading a healing service at another church with limited capacity & Covid-19 protocol in place. It worked well, so we'll give it a go here on Saturday. Please click on the button below to sign up or call the parish office.
God bless you,

3. Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
This week, prayerfully read Matthew 5:1-16 everyday and meditate on the Beatitudes, a living portrait of the life of Jesus that the Holy Spirit enables us (by grace) to enter into and live as well, bringing the light of heaven (God’s presence) vibrantly into our day to day lives and spheres of influence. God bless you!Click here for that chapter of Matthew
