Priorities

My dear friends in Christ,

The Pharisees put Jesus to the test yet again by asking his opinion about the Temple tax. Jesus replies, “repay to Caesar what is Caesars and to God what belongs to God.” This phrase is often used to justify a division in society between secular and religious or in our country as distinguishing the separation between Church and State. It’s a commitment that moves far beyond civic obligation and even overrides it. God’s authority present in Jesus the Messiah sets our most fundamental priorities, those of the kingdom.

This Sunday we celebrate World Mission Sunday. World Mission Sunday is a day set aside for the Catholic Church throughout the world to publicly renew its commitment to the missionary movement. We are pleased to be hosting the Mass for the Diocese. We welcome Fr. PJ Alindogan, Diocesan Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith to Corpus Christi Church.

Tickets still remain for our Oktoberfest Beef and Beverage Dinner which will be held on October 28, 2017. Come and join in the festive celebration and en joy the sounds of Gene Tirpak and the Oom Pah Band. The menu includes Beef, Baked Penne, Pasta and Chicken in a Marsala sauce, Roasted Potatoes with Green Beans, Caesar Salad, Rolls, Dessert, Coffee, Tea, Iced Tea, and Water. Of Course you are encouraged to BYOB. We will have ice on hand. Our super 50/50 drawing will take place at 7:30pm. Please return unused books to the rectory or place in the collection

May God bless you all!
Father John
