Help make someone's Christmas Holiday a little brighter! Our tree will be up from November 15 through December 7. Beginning next weekend, you can help by taking a tag off the Giving Tree to donate to Families Helping Families, Corpus Christi Assistance Ministry, Lexington Extended Care and local families. Please return your gift unwrapped to the church by December 7 with the tag attached. We are also in need of gift boxes, tissue paper and tape. Thank you for your generosity and help in bringing a smile to so many faces! 

Corpus Christi will be hosting a “Toys For Tots” collection bin in the narthex of the church from November 24-December 7.  To give, simply bring in a new , unwrapped toy (with    tags   attached) and place it in the bin.  Toys may be for any age category.  We   thank    you in advance for your generosity in helping us bring joy and love to  every child  this Christmas season!

Parishioners are invited to join us at 6:30 PM for a Spanish Mass on Friday, December 12 for the feast of Our Lady of Guadelupe. Our reception will begin at 8:00 PM in the parish hall and will include music, dancing, and light refreshments. We eagerly await your presence for this special evening!

December 14 is the third Sunday of Advent, and its name (Guadete Sunday) comes from the first word of the Mass's introit, "Gaudete in Domino," meaning "Rejoice in the Lord".

The day celebrates the near completion of the Advent season, reminding believers to rejoice because the birth of Christ is fast approaching. The rose/pink color is used for the third Sunday on the Advent wreath and signifies joy!

Children of all ages are invited to bring the Baby Jesus from their families Nativity set for a blessing with the words taken from our Holy Father's blessing in Saint Peter's Square in Rome. Families may place the Baby Jesus in the sanctuary ten minutes prior to each weekend Mass.  Pease include a name tag on the Baby Jesus for easy collection afterwards.

Families are invited to join us on in the parish hall from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM for pictures with St. Nick, along with a delicious pancake breakfast! Breakfast is open to entire parish.

Join us for a heartwarming experience at our  annual Las Posadas celebration, hosted by our Hispanic   Ministry   from   December   16  to December 24. This cherished religious tradition, celebrated in Mexico and across the United States, commemorates the journey of Joseph and Mary from Nazareth to Bethlehem as they sought shelter before the birth of Jesus, ultimately finding refuge in a humble   stable where the Christ Child was born. Corpus Christi invites you to be part of this       meaningful  observance. Each evening at 6:00 PM in the Parish Hall (Dec. 18 &19 will be held in the Youth Room of the modular building), we will come together to pray the Holy Rosary and sing joyful Christmas carols. Light refreshments  will  be served.  We eagerly await your presence!

Save the date!  Our next Family Pizza Night will be held on Friday,  December 19,  from   5:00-8:00 PM in the parish hall.
