If you cannot attend a public Mass, we are encouraging everyone to watch the broadcast of the Sunday Mass from home or in the parking lot area, and receive Holy Communion afterwards. Communion will be offered from the side door station of the church - next to the Columbarium and Prayer Garden - by an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, with the greatest reverence, after the conclusion of the 11AM Mass until 1PM. Everyone who is watching the Holy Mass from home, if you are in grace, and if possible, please receive Holy Communion on Sunday. We will wait for you outside until 1:00 p.m.

FRANCES “FRAN” CLINTON
It is with a heavy heart we communicate the passing of our beloved parishioner Fran Clinton, who passed away last Sunday, July 12. We ask for your prayers that the Lord may receive her today in His eternal Kingdom, and provide His divine comfort and strength to Dick, the Clinton family and all who mourn her passing.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION 2020-21
Next week, we will communicate the details of the upcoming Corpus Christi Religious Education program for our children, youth and adults. The Program, assembled for all family members, adults as well as children, integrates daily life with faith, involving the whole family in congregational life and learning, building up the faith of the family. The platform of the Program will teach, model and demonstrate individual as well as family faith practices, building the confidence and ability of parents to share faith and values with their children by providing parent education, resources, support and encouragement. One of the objectives is for our children and teens to become lifelong Catholics and active members of the Church - by involving the whole family in the life of the Church. More information will be communicated to the congregation next week.
