This week is the Octave of Pentecost, all masses are solemn 1st class feasts, with wonderful texts to meditate on the action of the Holy Ghost in our lives and the power of the sacrament of Confirmation. 

The seasonal ember days also fall within the Octave of Pentecost- days to pray and offer sacrifice for those to be ordained. 

Please pray for the 5 men who will be ordained on Friday, May 28- the Reverend Misters John Audino, Joseph Dalimata, James Eichman, Nicholas Eichman, Thu Truong. It will be broadcast via livemass.net at 11am. 

Fr. Dorsa will be away this week visiting the seminary for the ordinations.  

As occurs every year around this time with the departure of seasonal parishioners, Resurrection reduces their number of Sunday masses, and our Latin Mass returns to the 12:30pm slot beginning Sunday, JUNE 6th

His Excellency, The Most Reverend Frank Dewane, Bishop of the Diocese of Venice, FL, has issued the following decree effectively immediately, by which masks and physical distancing are no longer required in the diocese. Read the full letter here. 

Please read the Bishop's latest letter adjusting present guidelines for attending mass and the obligation to do so as of May 1. Those who are sick, at risk or with a legitimate fear of becoming ill will remain dispensed.
As mass attendance will not be limited to 50% capacity, signup will no longer be required for masses at St. Agnes. 
Please note that the Bishop requires the continued use of masks while in church under these updated more relaxed protocols. This applies to all the masses we say in different churches and has been personally reiterated to us as a community. So please observe this policy, as obedience requires. 

Tuesday- Womens Group. Same time and place as last time. Please sign up for more details. 

Wednesday- Rogation Mass at 5:15pm, beginning with a procession around the chapel singing the Litany of the Saints tailing into sung mass. At 4pm, it will be a low mass of the Vigil of the Ascension. 

Thursday- Ascension Thursday. Though NOT a Holy Day of Obligation in the diocese of Venice, all are welcome and encouraged to attend mass at 4pm (low) and 515pm (high) at St. Agnes. 

We wish a very special Mother's Day to all mothers in our Corpus Christi community, praying for them in a special way at our masses today, in this month dedicated to our Most Blessed Mother. 

We highly recommend this short, very inspiring work on spiritual maternity , as well as the great treatise on The Glories of Mary, by St. Alphonsus, also on audible here.

The monthly talk to newcomers that was given after the 845am mass on the 4th Sunday of the month has been hard to realize as of late, with limits of time and ceremonies that follow us at the chapel of St. Agnes. The talk will now be given periodically at different locations announced in advance. 

This Sunday, May 2 it will be given after the 430pm mass at St. William.

It is a 10-15 minute talk explaining briefly who we are a little about the Latin Mass.   

The 4:30pm will be a sung mass and the 845am will be a low mass this Sunday.

Please continue to pray and financially support this intention. More details will be given as concrete steps advance.
