A Small Adjustment to Our Mass Schedule - Starting June 29

Throughout our country and here in the Chatham area, parents are frustrated with their children’s progress towards a mature faith. Our staff has heard this from many of you. We’re going to address this and make it better for everyone. Moving forward, we will soon make a small adjustment to our weekend Mass schedule to accommodate this.

We needed to be creative in finding a little more time for the sake of our children’s lifelong faith formation. There will be one minor change in the starting time of one of our Sunday Masses. Beginning Sunday, June 29^th, the 9:00AM Mass will begin at 8:45 AM (15 minutes earlier).

Our new 8:45 AM Mass will provide a specific focus on our children. During the school year, on two Sundays each month, children and their families will be invited to join for Mass in the Church. Our homilist at the new 8:45 Mass will preach in a way that is accessible to children. This bimonthly Children’s Mass will be followed by our Family Faith Formation Program, where both children and their parents will grow in their knowledge of our faith. On the other two Sundays of the month, children will be invited to hear the Children’s Liturgy of the Word in the Atrium Conference Room as we currently offer it. All our parishioners, of all ages, are welcome to attend the 8:45 AM Mass!

To summarize, beginning on Sunday, June 29, the starting time of the 9:00 AM Mass will be permanently changed to 8:45 AM. As a parish family, we have a special opportunity to help the children of Corpus Christi. I appreciate your support and cooperation in this important initiative for our youth! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions and I will be happy to share more with you. 

Thank you all in advance for your support, and may God bless our families and our children!

Peace,
Fr. Kevin Corcoran
