Christ is risen Alleluia! He hath truly risen Alleluia!

Wishing all members of Corpus Christi Chapel a very Blessed and Happy Easter and Paschal Season- 50 days of joy reaping the fruits of 40 days of sacrifice. In Christ we have the victory over the world, the flesh and the devil. Death has been swallowed up in victory. Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat! 

Live the Resurrection of Christ during this most holy and joyful season by following and meditating on the sacred liturgy- the "source and summit of our Christian life."  

Yours in the Risen Christ, 

Fr. Romanoski FSSP & Fr. Dorsa FSSP

For those who would like a copy of the Easter Vigil Propers in electronic form, they can be accessed here in PDF, or at the livemass.net website, where the propers are found every day online.  We will have some printed propers, but as we will not be able to use lit candles in the pews, one's cell phone may be useful for following the ceremony or providing necessary light to read the propers one may wish to print out. 

Fr. Dorsa will be away on vacation from April 8-16. Please direct all pastoral needs to Fr. Romanoski and come before or after mass for confessions. 

The holiest week of the year is soon at hand. As only one solemn liturgy is permitted each day for the Triduum and as we have grown in size we had to acquire new venues for this year, and are very grateful to St. William's Catholic Church and Royal Palm Academy for hosting us to make the Triduum possible for all, for which no reservation will be necessary. As the ceremonies will be solemn, both priests and seminarian will perform the role of priest, deacon and subdeacon, and therefore there will not be confessions during the solemn liturgies. Please take advantage of Mon-Wed for confessions. 

Please note the following schedule and be sure to invite someone new to participate in these most ancient solemn ceremonies:
