Three Days to Pentecost 2020!
Pentecost is the 50th and last day of the Easter Season. Blessings to you and yours during these last three days … and every day! If you have children (or grandchildren!) at home with you, then they may all enjoy viewing the following Pentecost video from Fr. Patrick.
When the Holy Spirit gives you the wisdom that it is OK for you join others for Mass at church, you will receive the warm welcome that you have come to expect at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Detroit, MI.
A little introductory story. When I was a high school freshman (yikes! 64 years ago!) we had Fr. Whitehead, SJ, for our Latin teacher. One of the first things he taught us in Latin was: “Repetitio est mater studiorum” … “Repetition is the mother of learning.” I say that with a smile as we offer you some items that we have provided in the prior few weeks.
New Mass schedule:
Mondays: 8:30am and 12:15pm
Tuesdays: 8:30am and 6:00pm
Wednesdays: 8:30am and 12:15pm
Thursdays: 8:30am and 6:00pm
Fridays: no Masses
Saturdays: 4:00pm
Sundays: 9:00am and 12:00noon
For health safety reasons we ask those who wish to attend Mass on Saturday or Sunday to register so that we have the proper safety precautions in place. We do have a limited capacity of 75 people for health safety reasons. Yes, it is necessary to register each week for the following weekend Masses. Please register by Saturday noon by calling the parish office (313.537.5770) or electronically by clicking below.

A few special notes from Fr. Patrick:- With the Governor extending the Stay Home, Stay Safe Executive order to June 12th, parish offices will remain closed but we are checking messages and still trucking along!
- A reminder that we now have extra daily masses in addition to the regular 8:30am Monday through Thursday. Monday & Wednesday we have a 12:15pm lunchtime mass. Tuesday & Thursday we will have a 6pm Evening mass. Church doors will be open 30 minutes prior to mass. No reservation needed for daily mass. For those who may have never attended daily mass, it's a shorter mass (about 35 minutes max) and a wonderful shot in the arm.
- Please know there is absolutely no pressure on you to return to mass. We support you doing what is best for your health and those you live with! When the time is right for you to return, you'll know; please don't feel any pressure in that regard.
In closing, a reminder of our Pentecost Novena. Today we are on Day 7 of the nine days of preparing ourselves for Pentecost.
