GOF Registration 
Adults: last Sunday Sr. Therese showed us different styles and translations of Bibles. During the Eucharist Celebrated, the Mass, God’s message comes through His Word. Are we open to all scripture or only to the easy passages? Led by facilitator Elaine O’Neill, we will discuss this question plus our reactions and insights from viewing an excerpt from The Chosen, the Miracle of the Loaves and Fish (John 6:1-13). You might want to read this passage during this coming week!
Young People will continue their focus on the Eucharist Celebrated: the Mass. This month on the Scripture (Liturgy of the Word) where we listen and respond. They too will study “Jesus Feeding a Huge Crowd”.
Reminders:
**Cost is a freewill donation to cover the lunch. (Children eat free.)
** We welcome a new caterer who guarantees 4 serving lines to help decrease the wait time for eating! (Hurray!)
**New: The Primary students, grades 1-3, will meet in the Activities Center, not in Room 4.

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!
You can go directly to the adoration sign-up by clicking on the following button:Adoration Sign-Up *** Please Check the Weekly Bulletin for Possible Changes ***
