Tuesdays in November – Yesterday!!!!
Got some work for you to do! Last evening, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, 10 of your fellow parishioners [Evangelization Committee members] were in the store front lobbies of Foodland and Apollo supermarkets. Many, many customers stopped to pray with them. The customers asked for prayers for their sick family members, for unity in their families, for reduced stress at work, for strength, for their children, for pains in the back, for pain in their left knee, for finding a new church home, … and yes, on and on!!!! Your work??? Please pray for all those customers’ needs!
[And, by the way, while all this was happening another group of parishioners was praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament back in church! Oh, another opportunity for YOU?]

During Advent we will hear a reading from the prophet Isaiah each weekend. Why? What is the connection between Isaiah and Advent? Parts of the book of Isaiah are often referred to as First Isaiah, Second Isaiah, and Third Isaiah. Why this distinction?
Come on Sunday, November 13th to discover the answers to these questions and much more about the prophet Isaiah as we read and reflect on his message.

Please pick one up and keep in-touch with the Gospels. A free will donation is welcome.
Eucharistic Adoration
It’s happening here at Corpus Christi!
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!
You can go directly to the adoration sign-up by clicking on the following button:
Our prayer list continues to grow for the deceased, the ill and the homebound. Please visit our parish bulletin for the current list on page 3. … and then raise a prayer for those on the list and your own special intentions. Simply click on the Bulletin button at the end of this email.
