This Week at Corpus Christi 
Sunday, September 10th
23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Matthew 18:15-20
Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
Try to keep the themes of wisdom and mercy in your prayer this week!
“Jesus, give me wisdom, please.
Jesus, teach me to be merciful.”
It’s in His wisdom and mercy (tremendous graces)
that we’re able to live with and like Jesus
in all circumstances.
1. Happy Grandparents Day! To each and every grandparent out there!
2. A big THANKS to Mary Davis and all the Haiti River Cruise Team! The cruise went so well! Good update on the Haiti Mission. Good food…and great dessert! Fine views of the Gordie Howe International Bridge undergoing construction.
3. Death of Margaret Watson
Carolyn Wilson, former operations director for Corpus Christi, lost her mother Margaret (Meemee) Watson three weeks ago at age 96. “Meemee” was a familiar fixture at Corpus Christi during Carolyn’s tenure and much appreciated for her good humor and sparkling wit.
Carolyn said she was moved to tears when she saw at least 3 pews full of Corpus Christi folks at the funeral a St. Genevieve - St. Maurice on Friday Sept. 8th. She wants to send love and thanks to her whole Corpus Christi family and especially Fr. Patrick, who officiated at the Mass

Generations of Faith 2023/24
Sunday, September 24, 12:30 – 3pm
Wondering what Generations of Faith (GOF) is all about?
It is the FAITH formation program for Corpus Christi Parish that is held five times a year from September through March. It is a gathering of ALL GENERATIONS to learn more about the Catholic faith, deepen our belief in God, and reflect on the impact of the topic on our life as disciples of Jesus. Age Groups meet in separate rooms (adults, Gr. 7-12, Gr. 4-6 and Gr. 1-3). Then we all move to the gym to share a MEAL together or you can choose to go home. What is the cost? A freewill donation to cover the cost of the lunch. (Children eat free.)
Session One: Water, Word, and Worship
**Adults and teens (grs. 7-12) will begin this session where our sacramental life began, in the WATERS of Baptism…with the light of Christ (candle)…at the Baptismal Font in Church.
Our journey continues to the St. Eugene Chapel where we reflect on God’s WORD from scripture.
Then we gather at the main altar of WORSHIP to reflect on the Liturgy of the Eucharist where bread is blessed, broken and shared.
Our guide on this journey is Fr. Patrick!
**Students in grs. 4-6 will explore the Mass using the book Encounter with Christ over the 5 Generations’ sessions.
**Students in grs. 1-3 will use the book, The Joy of the Mass, over the 5 sessions.
Schedule: 12:30 – 1:40 pm In person presentations, discussion, and reflection in age groups

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!
