2020 Holy Week & Easter Schedule

The Holy Week liturgies are the pinnacle and most beautiful of the liturgical year. We commemorate the Lord’s last days on earth, from His entrance into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and Last Supper on Holy Thursday, to His death on Good Friday and glorious resurrection at the Easter Vigil and on Easter Sunday. We invite you to be a part of these liturgies by celebrating them at home. Please join us via Facebook live so we can be spiritually united in the celebration of these most sacred mysteries of our Faith.

Spiritual Communion An act of Spiritual Communion can help in our current situation. It can be prayed at Communion time while watching Mass on an electronic device, or any time during the day when you especially want to be united with the Lord. All that is required is an expression of contrition/sorrow for sin made before inviting the Lord into your heart through this prayer of spiritual communion:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

A special note about your Sunday offertory:

As always, we depend on your weekly offertory to make these essential ministries and activities happen. We still need your continued donations. Further, if you are blessed to be able to offer more than normal, your help is needed now. We urge all parishioners to move to online giving to sustain our Church. It allows you to make your donations via your smart device or computer. You can contribute using direct withdrawal (ACH) or credit cards. There is no need to contact your bank or the parish office. The payments are flexible; you can start, stop, and change your contributions at any time. The web site adheres to banking security standards.

To give online, visit our church web site at www.corpuschristicarolstream.org, and on the homepage, click on “E-Contribution” at the top of the page for a one-time donation, or click on “Set Up Regular Contributions” for recurring donations. Signing up for recurring donations will ensure that the parish can continue its ministry efforts during this difficult time.

You will continue to be in my prayers. May God bless you with peace and hope. Corpus Christi is with you in these uncertain times. In Christ, Fr. Mark Jurzyk
