CC 2023 Easter Season Theme: Belief in Jesus is our Salvation, our Life, and our Joy
This Week at Corpus Christi (Yes, a new format!)
Fifth Sunday of Easter Gospel: John 14:1 – 12 “I am going to the Father” Epistle: 1 Peter 2:4 – 9 “Cornerstone”
Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
This week, try to memorize John 14:6 -- “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Memorize and prayerfully recite this passage throughout the week and the reality of it will be beautifully present in your life I believe.

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]
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!
