Current Announcements
Special schedule of Masses for All Souls Day- Monday, November 2
On Nov. 2, the Church permits each priest to say 3 masses for all the faithful departed. We will thus have three consecutive masses in the morning (7:00am, 7:40am, 8:20am) and likewise three consecutive masses in the evening at 4:00pm, 4:40pm, 5:15pm). The 5:15pm mass will be a sung mass.
Though the traditional discipline permits the reception of Holy Communion once a day, under the current Code of Canon Law one is permitted to receive twice if one assists at the entire mass each time.

World Mission Sunday- Propagation of the Faith
Sunday, October 18th, is World Mission Sunday, in which an extra collect is added "pro fidei propagatione" for the propagation of the Catholic Faith throughout the world, without which it is impossible to please God (Hebr 11.6), and go to heaven (Mk 16.16).
Please remember this intention in your prayers at mass and in this month dedicated to the Holy Rosary.
For those who would like to donate to the mission work of the diocese of Venice, which helps missions on a local and international level, one can deposit a check made out to Corpus Christi Chapel in the normal Sunday collection whether at mass or by mail, earmarked for "Mission Sunday" and it will be forwarded to the diocesan office for the said purpose.

Present restrictions of spacing, face masks, etc. remain in force. Nevertheless, now in this advanced phase of reopening, His Excellency encourages those who can and who are not at risk to attend mass regularly. Please continue to signup in advance only for the 845am Sunday Mass per the instructions in the previous announcement.
