Upcoming Events in our Catholic Community!

SOLEMNITY OF ST. CRESCENT - AUGUST 27

12:10 Mass, Tuesday, August 27, at the Tomb of St. Crescent with lunch to follow at La Gondola (dutch treat).

THE ORIGINAL QUARTER RAFFLE
Corpus Christi's Quarter Raffle is coming soon!
 Friday, September 6, 2019 at  6 pm at Knights of Columbus Hall
We are still in need of donations for the raffle.  Our parishioners are always so generous and it is greatly appreciated.  We couldn't do this great fundraiser without the help of our church community.  So, if you can, please donate something new worth $25 or more.  You may also give many small items to be put in a basket that we will fix for you.  Theme baskets that you make yourselves are always welcome. Gift cards and cash are popular, too.  If we are given expensive items or something very special, sometimes we sell chances for those to be won.  Your donations can be dropped off at Corpus Christi's rectory office during office hours.  Questions? Please call Bev at 299-9017 or Mary at 351-2072.
