Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Be doers of the word and not hearers only…”(JAMES 1:22)
What do you do to live God’s word? Do you share your time in prayers with God? Do you use your talent to help those in need? Are you generous with your financial resources? If not, what are you waiting for?
Once a month we will be highlighting one of the many ministries here at Corpus Christi.
Youth Group
The Corpus Christi Youth Group provides a sanctuary where the youth is welcomed, accepted, and supported. We provide a platform for the youth to discover what they stand for, develop their core values, and find their own voice. We engage in faith-based activities, both locally, diocesan wide, and even globally, (World Youth Day Pilgrimage) to develop their identity as an individual and as a follower of Christ. Our youth-led meetings enhance their leadership qualities.

Re: Protection of Religious Freedom
A newsletter from the Knights of Columbus revealed a need to support persecuted Christians in the Middle East. It was noted that a “season of truth” is needed to help bring their story to the attention of the world.
In Iraq alone, the Christian population has fallen by at least two-thirds, from 1.5 million to less than 400,000. Many of these Christians have fled to the city of Erbil. In Syria, almost 10 percent of the population is Christian. There, too, violence against Christians has caused a refugee crisis. Thousands have fled for their lives to escape forced conversion and martyrdom. Just days ago, a headline in The New York Times asked, “Is This the End of Christianity in the Middle East?”
The world remains largely silent. These refugees’ cries for help remain largely unheard…But neither the United States government nor the United Nations are doing enough.
The blood of these martyrs cries out to heaven for justice. And the blood of these martyrs cries out to you and to me for help. Through the Knights of Columbus Christian Refugee Relief Fund, they have already delivered more than $3 million to assist our brothers and sisters in Iraq and Syria.
The Holy Father has also expressed his support for this initiative. Pope Francis is “profoundly grateful for the efforts of the Knights to raise public attention to this grave humanitarian tragedy.”
Please keep them in your prayers and visit and help support these brave men and women who have lost everything, simply for their belief in the One who taught us to love one another.
