The Pastor’s Perspective …
Dear Parishioners,
Today, I would like to wish a blessed Mother’s Day, filled
with God’s love and joy, for all mothers at Corpus Christi.
I would also like to take this opportunity to share some
important news for Corpus Christi. After 10 years of
priestly ministry and 3 years as pastor of Corpus Christi,
this summer I will be leaving Corpus Christi. I spoke with
Bishop O’Connell in early February about the possibility
of taking a priestly sabbatical and that request was
granted. On July 1, I will be leaving and Fr. John Testa
will be coming as administrator.
My sabbatical will go from July 1 – December 1. For a
good portion of that time I will be going to Rome to take
part in a program of priestly renewal. I have thought and
prayed much about this decision and look forward to
this next chapter of life.
The past three years have certainly been good years that
I hope we can remember with fondness. I hope that,
together, we have done some good in building up the
body of Christ on earth. I sincerely hope that you
welcome Fr. Testa and allow the Lord to see where He
wants to bring this community of faith through his
leadership.
With today being Mother’s Day, and the news of the
changing leadership at Corpus Christi, may we place
ourselves under the mantle of our heavenly Mother.
May she guide and direct our efforts, as we go our
separate ways, to lead us closer to her Son and closer to
our goal of attaining the glory and joy of eternal life in
the kingdom of heaven.
Pax Christi,
Father Jakub

FAITH IN OUR FUTURE
We can see how God has poured out His blessings upon us
in the form of active parishioners, and dedicated clergy,
religious and parish staff. We can see that the Lord has
inspired hundreds of hours of ministry and millions of
dollars of charitable assistance. Many lives have been
touched. All of these, and so much more, speak to us of
God’s goodness, and we are glad indeed.
Our assessments also remind us that there are areas in
which we fall short. Change is upon us; and the need to
speak the Good News of God’s love in Christ to a broken
world is even more urgent. Do not be anxious or fearful
about what the future brings. Instead, we must take this
moment to rejoice and be glad, O Church, for we know
that we are not alone in these efforts. The Lord will guide
us; He will renew our strength.

Thank God for YOU!
Because Corpus Christi never tires of giving from their
hearts, those in need in Willingboro will always have a
helping hand. As best we can, between the Poor Boxes and
Monthly Collection, you enable us to provide food, utilities,
water, etc. to so many who are down on their luck (and
that can be any one of us at any time). Loss of employment
or under-employment can change a life and family in no
time. We are blessed to have the people of Corpus Christi
who truly live the Gospel message: “Whatsoever you do to
the least of my brothers, that you do unto Me.” (Mat 25:34)
