From the Administrator:
My dear friends in Christ,
We welcome back all students who will be attending
Pope John Paul II Regional School. It’s an exciting time
of year for all associated with the school as new
friendships are formed and faculty and staff prepare to
give their students the very best in Catholic Education.
This weekend, RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults, is having an inquiry weekend. If you need to
fulfill Sacraments, this is a good time to stop by the
Parish Meeting Room after Mass to see how you could
be brought into Full communion in the Catholic Church.
Mary and her staff will be there to answer your
questions and provide information.
I am on retreat this weekend with the Poor Clares of
Perpetual Adoration in Hanceville, Alabama. I bring with
me your intentions. Please know that I am praying for
our entire Corpus Christi Parish family.
We also have the canonization of Blessed Mother Teresa
this weekend. The Mass will be televised by EWTN live
at 3:30 AM and will be re-broadcast at 11:30 AM, 10:00
PM and Midnight on Monday, September 5. She was
born Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu on August 26, 1910 in
Macedonia. She made her final profession of vows on
May 24, 1937. She died on September 5, 1997. She was
beatified on October 19, 2003. “Let us touch the dying,
the poor, the lonely and the unwanted.” Saint Mother
Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.
May God Bless You All!
Fr. John

“WOMEN OF JOY” PRAYER BREAKFAST
Saturday, September 10th, 2016, 9:00-11:30 AM
Welcome Back, Women of Joy, to our September breakfast. As
the season changes and the warm days of summer end, we
look forward to coming together again as a community of love
and friendship. We also come together to thank our Father for
all the blessings and joys we have received and to dwell on His
Holy Word. This year, the Women of Joy will focus on our
journey to God through prayer. We know God speaks to us
through His written word, The Bible. We, as His children,
speak to God through prayer. Prayer is an important part of
Christian life. We pray in words; sometimes, we pray in song.
“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone
cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let
him call for the elders of The Church, and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord” (James 5:1314). We learn through prayer, that God’s peace and joy
become part of our very soul. “Remember, more things are
wrought through prayer than this world ever dreamed
of.” (Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen). You are invited to join our breakfast
and be part of this joyful experience! Be with us as we
celebrate a morning of uplifting Scripture, good food and
warm fellowship. All are welcome, newcomers and “old
faithful.” More info/directions? Please call Marianne Janus,
609.835.1475 or Monica Maass, 609.877.1583.
