Thanks for your understanding.
Children's Schola Registration
Corpus Christi will be starting the children’s schola program for this year. The boys’ and girls scholas will meet at the New Church Building on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month September to May. The scholas will be directed by Miss Nicky Rutherford and Miss Katie Walton.
1st & 3rd Saturdays:
- 9:00 - 9:45am - Girls’ Scholas (ages 7+)
- 9:45 - 10:30am - Boys’ Scholas (ages 7+)
The scholas learn a variety of sacred music including chant, hymns, and polyphony. Younger singers focus on the basics of chant and singing, while older singers develop ensemble skills and prepare music to sing for special occasions several times a semester.
If your child is interested in joining a schola and you have any questions, please contact Miss Rutherford at [email protected] for more information.
There is a small registration fee per semester (Fall & Spring) so as to provide a stipend for our generous instructors for their wonderful service for your children and the whole community.
1st child aged: $60
2nd child: subtract $50
Family maximum: $110 per semester
Weekly Highlights for August 27th to September 2nd

Saturday, September 2nd man-skills class, children's schola, altar boys, and Maidens of Mary at the new Church at 9am.
Man Skills Class
The man-skills program seeks to impart to all the skills that every man should have, e.g. knowledge of basic electrical work, plumbing, cars, fishing, wood-working, raising of livestock and crops, etc. The purpose is to help one another to acquire these fundamental manly skills that are often lost in modern America.
These classes will be taught by our own parishioners who have expertise in a given area.
Available to all males
Every first and third Saturday of the month at 9am.
We will be sending out an email soon (hopefully, sometime this week) with more information about how to sign-up to teach a skill.
Activities at New Church Location
On Saturday, September 2nd at 9am at our new Church location we will begin again with choir practice, the Maidens of Mary, altar servers, and our new man-skills class. These activities will be held every first and third Saturday of the month from September to May. These activities will no longer be held at Royal Palm Academy.
Building Update
After a long pause, we are happy to give a building update. We are now able to use the classrooms and offices in our new Church location. All classes and non-liturgical activities will take place there from now on.
God willing, we will be able to have Masses in the new Church in October. We will officially announce the first Mass date in the new location as soon as possible.
All confessions and Mass times will remain as is until we move into the new location. We will keep you posted!
