1. Celebration of Halloween!
Thanks ever so much for your contributions of candy for our Corpus Christi “Trunk or Treat” event in the church parking lot on Halloween. Your gifts were truly appreciated by 362 people who came to the event!
2. Advent Seasonal PlanningLast Saturday, Nov. 4th, Composers of Community Prayer and other parish members met to discern plans for the Advent Season at Corpus Christi. Through Scripture readings for Advent Sundays and discussions among teams of attendees the following Advent theme was discerned:

Because Christmas is on MONDAY, Dec. 25th, Advent will only be 3 weeks and 1 day long this year. Blessings on all as we prepare for Christmas 2023!

Eucharistic Adoration 
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!
