My Dear Parishioners,
Last week on January 7th together as one family of faith, we paused to commemorate the devastating loss of Corpus Christi Church, the damage to the school, and the community they anchored for generations.
At noon, on the steps of the school, we offered our prayers for healing, strength, and renewal.
While we mourn all that was lost, we do so with hope, knowing that God walks with us and no tragedy, no disaster is greater than God’s love.
Worshipping without a permanent home has reshaped the community’s understanding of faith itself. Without walls, the parish has learned that church is not a place people go, but something they carry into borrowed chapels, onto school steps, and through the long uncertainty of rebuilding.
That evening I was honored to preside at a Mass of Remembrance and Reflection at St. Monica’s Parish, attended by many parishioners and friends. At the Mass a beautifully framed Papal Blessing was presented to Msgr. Torgerson as a representative of the St. Monica community whose parishioners volunteered in various ways to minister to friends and neighbors affected by the fire.
I am happy to announce that Corpus Christi is now in the master-planning phase of rebuilding, working with AC Martin to reimagine the parish campus. The vision looks forward, not backward.
One year after the fire, Corpus Christi remains without walls, but not without faith, not without perseverance, and not without a future.
