On Friday, March 1st, at 10:30 a.m., there will be a sung Mass at the Church of the Resurrection of Our Lord, located at 8121 Cypress Lake Dr, Fort Myers, FL, for the soul of Bonaventure Shea. All are invited to attend this holy Mass and are encouraged to pray for Bonaventure's family. 

The Naples office will be closed; however, you can still leave voicemails and send emails.

Please bring any Palms from Palm Sunday to Corpus Christi Chapel after Mass so that we can burn them and make the ashes for Ash Wednesday. 

This Wednesday, March 5th, is Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of the penitential season of Lent. 
Though not of obligation, one is encouraged to go to mass on this day and receive ashes as a sign of the commitment to do penance, so as to mortify our flesh and strengthen our immortal soul- "Remember O man that you are dust and unto dust you shall return."

We will have Mass at:

Corpus Christi Chapel: 7 am, 5:30pm. 

Resurrection, Fort Myers: 12:30pm. 

Ashes will blessed at the 7am mass and distributed at every mass that day.

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. For members of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, the norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 through age 59, inclusively. When fasting, a person is permitted to eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals/snacks that together are not equal to a full meal. The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding upon members of the Latin Catholic Church from age 14 onwards. If one wishes to freely observe the older discipline in force in 1962 (and thus not currently obligatory), one may see those rules at https://materdeiparish.com/laws-days-abstinence-penance-fast/

Men from Corpus Christi are invited to join in prayer at Planned Parenthood in Naples on Fridays. 

 This is a valuable opportunity for men to support life and encourage those facing difficult decisions. It is essential to step forward as role models and provide support for women in the community during these challenging times. 

Fridays are typically busier at Planned Parenthood, as they offer various services, including the distribution of abortion pills. While participation on any day is appreciated, concentrating community efforts on Fridays could make a significant impact. 

Additionally, members of Corpus Christi Parish gather regularly on Fridays from 8:30 to 9:30 AM.  Sidewalk counselors are present from 9:00 AM onward and remain throughout much of the day.

 "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matthew 9:36)
