"La posada" is a very traditional celebration in honor of the pilgrimage of Saint Joseph and our Lady to Bethlehem. We will pray the holy rosary and the litany, we will sing songs and afterward we will eat, we will also have a piñata. It will take place in Adelita's House (45 25th Ave NE Naples FL, 34120) on December 16th from 6-8 pm. 

Inspired by the 'Mothers of Lu', we are inviting the  mothers of Corpus Christi to join together to pray for vocations. On the first Sunday of each month, at whichever Mass you attend: 1) offer your Holy Communion for vocations, 2) immediately following Mass, gather up front by the statue of Our Blessed Mother and recite together the following prayers and one decade of the rosary:

For vocations: 

“O God, grant that one of my children may become a priest! O Lord, grant that one of my children may become a religious! I myself want to live as a good Christian and want to guide my children to do always what is right, so that I may receive the grace, O God, to be allowed to give you both a holy priest and a religious! Amen.” 

For the Church: 

“O Holy Spirit, Creator, mercifully assist Thy Catholic Church, and by Thy heavenly power strengthen and establish Her against the assaults of all Her enemies; and by Thy love and grace renew the spirit of Thy servants whom Thou hast anointed, that in Thee they may glorify the Father and His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.”

This weekend, author Viviana Falleti will be selling her delightful, informative, and beautifully illustrated Christmas book for children and the young at heart, after all CCC Masses in Naples. $10 of each book sold to parishioners will be donated to Corpus Christi Chapel’s building fund. Cash and checks only can be accepted. If you miss this weekend’s sale, you can still purchase copies with the info at the bottom of this announcement. This book is a sneak preview and will not be widely available at bookstores or on Amazon until Christmas 2024.    

With only one priest at Corpus Christi Chapel, some adjustments to confessions must be made. Please consider the following when going to Confession:

To gain an indulgence we need to go to confession either 20 days before or after the day we did the act to gain the indulgence. Therefore, you have forty days to gain the indulgence.

Moral Theologians from before the Second Vatican Council agreed that the laity who are free from mortal sin should go to confession about once a month. 

If you have the opportunity to go to confession during the week, please do so. Confessions on Sundays are extremely limited and should be reserved for those who cannot make it on any other day. 

My husband Bill, an Army Veteran and I have been married for over 33 years. This past year, as an Archery Instructor at a San Diego, Ca., High School, our Team took First Place in the district and we won Sixth Place at Nationals. Prior to that I was a Financial Planner in San Diego where we were both born and raised.  Three months ago, we moved to Naples from San Diego where we were parishioners at St. Anne, FSSP.   Fr. Lyons would lead us in the Latin rosary every Tuesday in front of Planned Parenthood. We were met with incredible hostility but were successful because P.P. had such a DECREASE in abortions, they invented a new evil way to make money by offering sex change hormones to anyone, even children.  Changing hearts and minds with hopeful help for pregnant women in crisis is working. The P.P. here in Naples CLOSED down but has recently opened again, now offering the chemical abortion pill.  The 40 Days for Life Campaign is working, Sidewalk Advocates are working, your prayers and sacrifices are working.  Together, we can continue to save precious lives in Christ's love.   

First Friday, Dec 1st, Mass at 4pm and 5:15pm at St. Agnes

First Saturday, Dec 2nd, Mass at 6:45am at St. Agnes

Father van Zee had to get a new cell phone and number. Please do not use the old number to reach him. The best number to reach him by phone is (239) 360-9977. 

There were a few items left at the church last Sunday after Fr. Adam's going away party. If you are missing anything, please contact Brian at [email protected]. Thank you!

Please join us in honoring Father Adams for his outstanding contributions and dedicated service to the Corpus Christi Chapel community.

 A going-away party will be held for him in the parking lot of the new Church (5975 Golden Gate Parkway) on Sunday, November 12th, from 10:30am to 12pm. It's a potluck event, so we kindly ask you to bring some food to share. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to express our gratitude for his exceptional service. We hope you can attend and keep him and our community in your prayers.
