As a community of believers, we answer Christ s call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless and love one another. January 30, 2022 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Corpus Christi Parish Second Collection this Weekend This weekend, at all Masses, we will take up a second collection to benefit the Church in Latin America.

3 Blessing of Throats The Memorial of Saint Blaise occurs on Thursday, February 3, 2022. Next weekend, February 5 and 6, we will bless throats at all Masses. Because individuals may feel reluctant to come forward to receive an individu-al blessing of their throat for the Feast of St. Blaise, a general blessing, which is equally efficacious, will be given. Following the general blessing, those who wish to receive the sac-ramental sign of the individual blessing of their throats with can-dles, will be asked to come forward. The ministers administering the individual blessings with candles are required to wear a mask.

4 New Ministry Schedule The current ministry schedule will expire the end of February. A new ministry schedule which will run from March 2022 thru May 2022 will be printed in the next couple of weeks.
