Current Announcements

Corpus Christi is looking for a competent, confident, and congenial Administrative Assistant to help our growing parish. This position is part time, 5-10 hours per week to start, and remote - all work can be done from home via a computer, with a flexible time schedule. Going forward, as we identify more areas of responsibility, those hours will very likely grow.  

It would be appreciated that one has good writing skills, and confidence learning and using new computer programs and tools. We have a great team that does all the technical website work, but it would be useful if they could direct someone in content management and donor support. Additional tasks would include general administrative help such as maintaining Google Docs/Sheets, emails correspondence, email newsletter management, etc.

Please contact Fr. Romanoski at [email protected] or 239-450-7320 if you are interested or know anyone who may be a good fit for this position.

Organized by local Catholics: 

Public Prayer For God’s Mercy Upon America!

WHEN: Saturday, April 24, 2021 (and on the last Saturday of every month)

TIME: 10am to 11am (weather permitting) 

PLACE: on the east side of U.S. 41, immediately north of Pine Ridge Rd, opposite Waterside Shops.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Bring folding chairs, shade umbrellas, bottled water, your own signs.  

Parking available in the adjacent business lots.

MISSION: We will invoke the Divine Mercy and the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas, St. Joseph, Terror of Demons and St. Michael the Archangel to lead and protect us in spiritual battle against the powers of darkness threatening the United States of America.

May they inspire all who see us to lift up their own hearts in prayer. 

Feel free to forward this to anyone you know who might be interested in joining us.

"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places."

- Ephesians 6:12

For any who are or will be 15 yrs of age this year and have not yet been confirmed, please send us an email at [email protected]
We are tentatively planning on confirmations late this year or early next year depending on how many candidates we have and the Bishop's availability. Confirmandi will be given the expectation of what they are to study and know in the meantime and required to attend some supplementary classes with us a few months before the date of confirmation.  

Confirmation with Corpus Christi Chapel is only possible for those who are already registered members of Corpus Christi. 

Please read the Church's decree on how to gain a plenary indulgence- the complete remission of all temporal punishment due to sin on the Octave of Easter in honor of the Divine Mercy, who in the readings for this day institutes the sacrament of Mercy- Confession. 

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. 

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. 

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

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.
