A. Today’s New Items  1. Intercessions of the Day Lord, bless us and bring us close to you. You offered yourself in sacrifice for our sins; accept our intentions and our work today. You bring us joy by the light of another day; let the morning star rise in our hearts. Give us strength to be patient with those we meet today and so imitate you. Make us aware of your mercy this morning, Lord, and let your strength be our delight.. [Source: Liturgy of the Hours, Week I, Thursday, Morning Prayer]

 

2.  Black Catholic History Celebration – New Date!

   

The new date for this event is February 5, 2021.

 

3. Giving Tree: Version 2020

 

Announcing a three weekend Advent Giving Tree event brought to you by Corpus Christi’s Social Justice Committee and Christian Service. The beneficiaries of this year’s collection will be members of Corpus Christi Parish and families in our Parish boundaries who find themselves unable to provide for their needs during this blessed Christmas season. In the interest of keeping things simple and Covid safe here’s what you can do to help: While you are out shopping anyway, PICK UP either a Kroger, Meijer or Target gift card—any denomination will be put to good use.  DROP OFF your donation at the back of church at either the 4pm or 11 am Mass November 28, 29 or December 5, 6 or December 12, 13. If you’re not going out you can MAIL a check to Corpus Christi Parish at 19800 Pembroke, Detroit, MI 48219. Make checks payable to Corpus Christi Parish and write Giving Tree on the memo line. Donation envelopes will also be available at the back of church. We will distribute your donations to families on Saturday, December 19 so they will be able to shop for food or gifts prior to Christmas.  Thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding of the unique challenges of Christmas giving this year.  Continuing thanks and wishes for blessings in abundance for remaining Christ’s Light in our little corner of the world.

B. Reminders  7. Please Pray for the Deceased in November Please remember your family, friends, and fellow Corpus Christi deceased during this month.  See if you can find time daily for them.

 

8. New Air Purifying Equipment in Church Because your health and safety during this COVID-19 pandemic is extremely important, the Leadership Team approved the purchase of four medical-grade air purifying units for the church and expect them to be delivered this week for use this upcoming weekend.   These units are used in surgical centers and dental offices, as well as schools and other settings where groups of people are gathering since the pandemic. Because the units continually clean and filter the air in the church, the company recommends that we keep the windows closed to keep out allergens and dust particles, which will keep us safe and warm in the church this winter. You will notice that the units will be placed against the two walls along the pew areas and the noise level is minimal.
