God of Love, We are so grateful to count this parish family among our many blessings.
Guide us throughout our time of transition.
When we are scared, embolden us.

When we falter, help us find truth.

Sunday Mass Schedule Change Coming Soon To Corpus Christi
We want to hear from you within the next two weeks! The urgency about this is the rapidly approaching change to the Mass schedules. A second joint meeting of the parish councils of Corpus Christi and Saint Rose will occur on June 5th to discuss the proposed changes to the weekend Mass schedules. Members of the parish council will be present after all Masses at Corpus Christi over the next two weekends to get your input. If you did not take the time to read the parish bulletin last week you may have missed Fr. Fitz’s column on this (here is a copy if you want to look at it now). For more information please see the insert in this week’s bulletin by clicking here. There is also a bit more information in this blog post from last week.
Memorial Day Mass
Mass will be at the usual time and place. We will honor our recently departed, both here and at St Rose, by reading their names at this special Mass of Remembrance. We will also continue our tradition of taking up a special collection for the Archdiocese of the Military to support the Military Chaplains.
Meet Father Marc Paveglio!
Father Marc Paveglio will become Pastor of Corpus Christi and St. Rose of Lima as of July 2. Father Marc was ordained in 2014, served two years at Our Lady of Grace in Edina, and is currently completing his second year at Pax Christi in Eden Prairie.
