1. Fr. Patrick: Fall Parish Newsletter and Financial Statement
Our “Fall Parish Newsletter” and “Financial Statement” can be viewed by clicking on the button below. The Newsletter has a fiscal update and a pastoral update for the period of July 1st to the present. The Financial Statement is for the results of July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 and for the plans of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020.
As a cost-saving measure, we'll be using a tracking analytic to see who has opened this letter electronically. Following the analytics, we'll refrain from sending a hard copy via U.S. mail to those who have read it electronically. If you'd like a hard copy too, just say the word and we'll send you one.
Thanks & God bless!

5. St. Christine’s “Share the Sweetness”
As with everything else this year, our annual dessert collection for the St. Christine Soup Kitchen will be a little different this year. The Corpus Christi Social Justice Committee is asking for monetary donations to St. Christine Christian Service in lieu of the traditional goodies. The need is greater than ever, so please be as generous as you are able.
There are two ways to donate. You can pick up an envelope at the back of the church, available for the next three weekends, and return it with a check made out to Corpus Christi with Soup Kitchen written in the memo line (or mail in a check if you won’t be at church). Or, you can log onto the St. Christine Christian Service web page http://sccsdetroit.org/ and scroll down to the donate button to give with a credit or debit card.
Thank you in advance for being Christ’s Light in our little corner of the world.

10. Invitation from Gesu Parish 
UPDATE:
The link to the presentations sponsored by the Beloved Community at Gesu is: https://www.gesudetroit.com/beloved-community
The topic for the October 7 presentation is “The Big Question: Climate Change As “Water Speak.” It will begin at 7 PM EDT with the presentation, followed by a moderated question & answer session, and will end at 9 PM.
The two platforms we will be using are Facebook Live, which accommodates the ability to ask questions remotely through their chat feature, and YouTube, which will just be live streamed. When you follow the link to the website’s Beloved Community page, the video you can see is the YouTube video. If you choose the blue hyperlink for this week’s session, it will take you to Facebook and the chat option.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I’ll be monitoring my email ( [email protected] )during the presentation.
The Beloved Community at Gesu originally planned to do this series in April 2020. We are really delighted that we’ve had the support to enable both in-person and online presentations. We’ve had the benefit of presentations by Dr. Peterson and Dr. Mendoza in the past and know how thought-provoking they are. We’re really glad that you are able to join us.
