Summer Envelopes
We sincerely thank our parishioners who mail or deliver your weekly envelopes to the parish office while you are out-of-town on vacations this summer. As many of you understand, our parish expenses and obligations do not take a vacation when you do, so it is very helpful to be able to rely on your continued support even when you cannot personally attend Mass here.

Through the gifts of time and talent that our parishioners so generously share we are able to truly be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ here in Corpus Christi Church. Many thanks to ALL those faithful and generous stewards who volunteer in our parish! Your time is worth everything to us!

On The Funny Side…………………………………
Crumpled Up
A woman said to her husband "Do you want to see a crumpled up $50?
And he said "yes" So she reached into her pocket pulled it out and gave it to him.
Then she said "do you want to see a crumpled up $100?
And he said "yes" So she reached into her pocket pulled it out and gave it to him.
Then she said " Do you want to see $50,000 crumpled up and he said "yes"
So she said, go look for your car in the garage then.
