In addition to assisting the underserved of our communities, your gift helps those cultivating a vocation to the priesthood. Your gift to the Appeal is an investment in the future of our Church and our faith. Thank you to the parish families who have made a gift or pledge to the 2015 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. If you have not yet participated, please prayerfully consider doing so. Although we need a number of extraordinary commitments to meet our goal, please know that every dollar of your gift will have a major impact. A CHEERFUL GIVER A cheerful giver does not count the cost of what he gives. His heart is set on pleasing and cheering the one to whom the gift is given. - St. Julian A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE In today’s gospel Jesus teaches, “Blessed are those who have not seen and believe.” Accepting someone as they are, without demanding they prove themselves or meet our expectations, creates rich relationship. Without acceptance a home is only a house and a family is just a group of house mates. - by Bud Ozar CORPUS CHRISTI SCHOOL HAPPENINGS Do you ever wonder if a Catholic School could be the right fit for your child?

Brooks brings to light why Fatima is regarded by many as the most important spiritual event of the past 100 years. LENTEN GIVING CROSSES UPDATE Many of those who took a Lenten Giving Cross card have completed the activity described there and have returned the card. The returns show that many good works are being done. These include contributions to agencies which serve the needy, and participation in ongoing parish projects such as the shelter meals and snack drive. Some people who took a yellow card with a prayer have copied the prayer and returned the card, but you are most welcome to keep the card if you wish to continue to say the prayer throughout the year. Thank you to all who are participating in this project. Please continue to return your cards in the collection basket when you complete the task. This provides wonderful feedback on what is accomplished through this program. THANK YOU from the DAISIES Girl Scout Daisy Troop 10263, from Corpus Christi School, would like to thank the parishioners for making the Cookie Booth Sale a HUGE success!

APRIL CATHOLIC TRANSCRIPT Corpus Christi got quite a bit of coverage in the April edition of the Catholic Transcript. In the article about bestowing St. Joseph Medals on 206 parishioners (pages 3,7), John & Marie Burnosky were listed as Corpus Christi’s recipients. The Archbishop’s St. Patrick Day Breakfast article (page 17) quoted parishioner John Brett and his appreciation for Catholic schools. On page 5, “ ‘Kind hearts’ prompt women to launch clinic in Honduras” tells the beautiful story of our own Mary Pergiovanni and Nancy Kiely and their work to establish Clinica la Amistad (Friendship Clinic). Visit www.catholictranscript.org to read that article. JOIN the HOMEFRONT TEAM This year HomeFront Day will be on Saturday, May 2nd. HomeFront Day is sponsored by HomeFront, Inc., where parishes all over the state accept a project to repair and fix up the home of low income families.

There is a great deal of work to be done to a home in Old Wethersfield, near Standish Park and Mikey’s Place, including painting, yard clean-up and minor carpentry. We need a lot of workers: even just 1 hour of your time would be very much appreciated.
