Assistance Ministry
The Corpus Christi Assistance Ministry is always in need of your generous donations to our pantry, particularly non-perishable shelf-stable supplies. Items can be dropped off at the ministry office in the old church Tuesday-Thursday from 9-11 AM or anytime into the drop box next to the building. If giving a monetary donation, please make checks payable to Corpus Christi Assistance Ministry. It's because of you that Assistance Ministry is able to help as many people as they do, and we thank you for the bottom of our hearts!

Changes To the Parish Office
We have made some changes in our office. As you may have noticed, things look a bit different here at the Parish Office, and the reason for that is because some of our lovely staff have changed roles! You will still see all the familiar and friendly faces you have come to know here. Some of us will just be doing different things in order to best serve our Parish as a whole. Below are the following changes and what they will mean for you:
Scott Kramer will now be our Parish Office Coordinator. He will be the friendly face you see when you first come to see us with any questions or requests you may have. He will also be who you first speak with when you give us a call!
Maria Coller will now be our Director of Parish Engagement. She will oversee putting together some wonderful events here at the Parish, and we can't wait to see what exciting plans will be in store for Corpus Christi! She will still handle the scheduling of baptisms, weddings, funerals, and quinceañeras.
Marisa Krause will now be our Director of Marketing and Communications. She will oversee promoting and advertising our upcoming events for the Parish by working with ministries to achieve their desired vision in how they are represented at Corpus Christi. When you need to get the word out about something, she will be your go to!
Carmen Wilson will now be our Director of Faith Formation. She will be here to help guide you/your family through the Religious Education process and answer any questions you may have, including those regarding sacramental preparation (with the exception of baptisms and weddings.) She is also the leader of our Children, Youth, and Young Adult Ministries!

Natural Family Planning Awareness Week
Sunday | July 23
July 23 is National NFP Awareness Week. Celebrate God's vision for marriage with Natural
Family Planning Awareness week. The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human sexuality, conjugal love, and responsible parenthood. The dates also mark the feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the parents of the Blessed Mother. Pope Francis has designated that feast as World Grandparents Day, a fitting commemoration during National NFP Awareness Week!
