“Exult” at Corpus Christi.
Companions of the Cross seminarians
will be leading an Exult night
at Corpus Christi Parish on July 3rd.
Exult is a ministry tour that is focused on the healing power of Jesus. We will be doing it this year from July 3rd to the 14th. We have been doing it the last few summers and it has been amazing witnessing the incredible power of God at work. This ministry is a great start to stir up the faith and ignite people’s hearts for more. The last couple of years we have been touring the United States but this year we felt called to do a Canadian tour. We will begin with Corpus Christi in Detroit and then head to Canada.
The Flow of the Evening:
We will begin with a period of praise and worship, followed by a teaching on the seven Hebrew words for praise, their Biblical meaning, and how they enrich our worship. We will end the night with a time of communal prayer ministry. We have seen that when people worship God wholeheartedly, they are emboldened to step out in faith to receive healing. We will lead the people in praying for each other, especially for healing. This portion of the night, we lead people through prayers for forgiveness and prayers of renunciation all in the name of Jesus who has the power.
This is a basic Schedule:
6:30 PM Gathering Worship
6:40 PM Introduction (Explanation of the night)
7:00 PM Teaching (on 7 Hebrew words for praise)
7:30 PM Response to the Teaching
7:35 PM Praise & Worship Begins
8:10 PM Prayer Ministry
Teaching on Prayer Ministry
Invocation of the Holy Spirit
Communal Prayer Ministry
8:40 PM Response to God’s Power with Praise & Worship
9:30PM Closing Remarks

Considering Catholicism?
Invite a Family Member or a Friend to
“Consider Catholicism”!
Is someone you know wondering about your church, your faith, your beliefs, your Bible, your prayers, your worship services, or any other aspect of our Catholic religion? We have a casual process for such people to ask questions about our Catholic faith and practices. We are calling it “Considering Catholicism?” and are having sessions on Sunday mornings from 9:30am to 10:30am in the parish rectory dining room. (note: this is a change from the prior location in the Activity Center with entrance between the school and the convent.)
The sessions are hosted by Dcn Paul Mueller and Valerie Berry. You are most welcome to accompany your invited guest for their first session … and following sessions as well. Our future sessions will be on:
July 14th
August 11th
August 25th
If attendees care to “dig further into the faith” they will be most welcome to participate in the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) which will lead to their receiving the Sacraments on Easter weekend
Care to know any more about the “Considering Catholicism?” sessions? Please contact Dcn Paul Mueller in person, or at [email protected] or via phone at 248.891.9387.
Sign-up for Adoration!Here at Corpus Christi, we are so pleased to have the opportunities to spend time quietly with the Lord in Adoration of the Eucharist displayed in a monstrance on the altar. The Lord gets our attention with the Eucharist and we can respond by opening our hearts and minds to the Lord in our prayers. Yes, speaking to the Lord and listening to the Lord!
This adoration is offered twice a week. We have adoration from 6:00pm to 8:30pm on Tuesday evenings and from 9:15am to 10:15am on Thursday mornings. The Tuesday evening prayers are especially supportive of our parish evangelization efforts at local food stores (SFE – Store Front Evangelization) and in our neighborhoods (VON – Visiting Our Neighbors).
One of your adoration options is to visit our parish website and sign-up for when you care to come and do adoration. You can go directly to the adoration sign-up by clicking on the following button:

Eucharistic Adoration
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!
