Previously Announced


The Legion of Mary

Our first weekly meeting for Legion of Mary Active members was held on Tuesday, November 27th between 3:30pm-5pm in the Bride/Confession Room of St. Agnes' Chapel.

If you are unable to attend the weekly Tuesday meetings before Mass please consider supporting the Active members in prayer by becoming an Auxiliary member. Legion of Mary Auxiliary members commit to praying 5 decades of the rosary everyday along with the Legion of Mary Tessera prayers. (Yes, if you already pray the daily rosary, that rosary counts for Auxiliary membership and all you have to do is pray the Tessera prayers.)

If you have an questions please email [email protected]


Supervision of Children: Respect for St. Agnes' Grounds

On behalf of St. Agnes Church, our very gracious host, please ensure that your children are supervised by an adult while playing outside, and that they are not standing on the running water feature outside the chapel. Thank you kindly for your cooperation.

Donuts & Donations

Please leave a donation for donuts if your kids are going to eat them after Mass in front of the main church at St. Agnes. All are welcome to partake and it is only a suggested donation.




Mondays for Life

Please join our weekly “Mondays for Life” prayer vigils each Monday from 9 to 10 A.M. outside of the Naples Planned Parenthood at 1425 Creech Road. Our priests will lead us in the Rosary as we pray for babies at risk of abortion, their mothers, and all people who impact the lives of these innocent victims.


Men’s Holy Hour of Reparation

Some Corpus Christi faithful who live in Ave Maria are meeting at Ave Maria Parish at 8:00 PM on Mondays to pray the Holy Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The prayer group is for men only. The intention of the Holy Hour is in reparation for blasphemy and sacrilege against the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Priesthood in addition to other personal intentions. For any interested, please contact Dr. Joseph Burke: [email protected] 


Please Don’t Feed The Priests!

Just kidding. The fathers are very grateful to everyone who brings them meals. Currently organized by Jessica Woods, those regularly providing meals would like to expand to a two-week rotation. Please consider sharing the bounty of your table with our Priests. Visit CorpusChristiFSSP.com/food for details or email [email protected]


Total Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Join us on after Mass on Wednesdays from 6:10 PM. to 6:30 P.M. for an exposition of the book "True Devotion to Mary" by St. Louis de Montfort in preparation for total consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary on the feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8.


Catequesis en Español

Este miércoles no habrá catequesis en español, debido a la misa cantada y devociones en honor del Inmaculado Corazón de María. Se suspenderá hasta próximo aviso, ya que se sustituirá, a partir del 29 de agosto hasta el 8 de diciembre, con la preparación para la consagración total mariana, que comenzará a las 630pm con el rezo del santo rosario, y en seguida la plática a las 7pm. Favor de contactar a la Sra. Ma. Jordana 305-281-9735 o a la Sra. Nile Costa 561-234-6277 para registrarse.


Please Consider Becoming an Usher
We Need a Few Good Men

Being an usher is a great privilege and responsibility. They are, in part, an extension of our priestly ministry among the people and the care of the Church of God. We thank those who have volunteered and ask that more men consider helping with this role. Those interested, contact [email protected].
