1) This evening (Feb 20th) Faith Studies concluded. Our 10 Year Vision is working.
Everyone has gone through Alpha and now Faith Studies - Discovery!
Some will be going into RCIA when the time is right.
We have ended what I call the “treadmill” of enter RCIA in September and your Baptized at the Easter Vigil
Here at Corpus Christi we begin the journey with you in Alpha and then Faith Studies and then RCIA
What happens? Community is formed! Knowledge at an appropriate level is imparted and this deepens over time.
I am so grateful to Thomas and the facilitators here for being Engaged Disciples and journeying with people to meet Christ and grow in the Catholic Faith
2) The Lord continues to bless this parish and the 10 Year Vision we have — through Alpha
Last night’s topic: Why and How Do I Pray?
When I returned at the end of the evening’s session no one was moving away from their tables.
Everyone was still in discussion; people are hungry for God and we want to serve up and open the way for them to encounter the Lord!
This is what the vehicle of Alpha does.
May God - through the intercession of Bl Don Alvaro - keep blessing this 10 Year Vision through the evangelization pump of Alpha
Lord - bring us more of your people to serve so they can learn the joy of serving you and one another!

3) This week Corpus Christi is having our Parish Mission.
Fr Wade Menezes of the Fathers of Mercy is here.
Our theme this year: "The Most Holy Eucharist: Gift and Sacrament”
Many people braved the chilly to cold and wet/snowy weather to be with Jesus and Fr Wade.
Pray for many blessings for parishioners who attend Mass and who do not. Pray for our 10 Year Vision
Fr Hamilton
