WHAT'S
GOING ON
at
CORPUS CHRISTI CHURCH.
My Dear Parishioners,
I wanted to share this blessing with you on this special day when we celebrate our mothers.
Father,
We give you thanks for the many gifts you have given us; the gift of life, the gift of those who love us.
We thank you today for the gift of our mothers.
We give thanks for our mothers who have died andfor the unique way they have revealed for us your love. We ask that you bless them and keep them in your care until the time comes for us to join them in your Kingdom.
We ask your blessing upon the mothers who are unable to be with us here today. May they know how much we love and care for them.
We pray for birth mothers who have loved their children so much they have shared the gift of their child with those who could better care for them and their needs and give them a secure home.
And we pray for adoptive mothers, that they may always know their special role of being a true mother, a revelation of God’s love for their children.
We ask your blessing upon mothers who have lost children through stillbirth, crib death, accident and tragedy, war and violence, that they may have your continuing strength and courage.
We ask your blessing, too, upon those who would very much like to be mothers but who are having trouble having a child.
We ask your blessing upon the mothers here at Corpus Christi Parish. Give them the strength to live the faithful and loving lives you call them to lie. Protect and guide them. Keep them in your care.
We ask this blessing in the name of Jesus, our Lord.
Siempre Adelante!
Monsignor Liam Kidney
Pastor

VOTIVE CANDLES FOR YOUR INTENTIONS
You are invited to come into the church to light votive candles at our Blessed Mother shrine for your own intentions, or in memory of your loved ones.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A MASS SAID FOR SOMEONE?
A lovely way to remember a deceased loved one, a recently deceased friend, parent of a friend, or relative, or someone who is ill, or perhaps just a friend you would like to honor, is to have a Mass said for them. Each day and weekend a Mass is offered in memory of a deceased person, or for the intentions of someone who is ill, or perhaps whose birthday is that day.
If you would like to have a Mass said for someone, you can contact the parish office at 310-454-1328, come in person, or email jane@corpuschristichurch.com with the name of the person, if they are deceased or living, and if you are requesting a specific date. Please note that the annual Mass book fills up quickly, and often specific dates are booked well in advance. You can pick up a card to send to the person or their family so they will know when the Mass is being said, and that you are thinking of them. We can also mail the card for you. We would love to honor your request, so give us a call!
As always, our priests are available to anoint those who are very ill and to bury the dead. Please call the parish office, 310-454-1328, and you will be directed to our emergency pager number.
God Bless You All and Keep You Well!
