Please take advantage of this opportunity to make a good Lenten confession. Please also reach out to the Catholics you know that have been away from the regular practice of our faith and invite them to seize this chance to begin again. The Archdiocese’s website for this initiative, www.TheLightIsOnForYou.org, has great material to help everyone prepare to make a good confession.

Corpus Christi – We are the Body of Christ. Corpus Christi Parish was formed more than ten years ago when four ethnic parishes were merged into one. We are indeed blessed and have grown together along with several Spanish speaking communities. To demonstrate our multi-cultures this Lenten season, a vase of twigs with national flags has been placed at the foot of the large cross in our sanctuary. We are indeed the Body of Christ!

Next weekend we will have a second collection for the Saint Vincent de Paul Saint Vincent de Paul Saint Vincent de Paul Saint Vincent de Paul SocietySocietySocietySociety.
