A very generous family of Corpus Christi Chapel is providing a special opportunity from now until Easter, of matching any donation to our building fund up to a total of 250k. If we meet this goal, we will be around the initial estimate for buying land for your future parish home!  Please be generous at this time of preparation for Christmas with end of the year donations, special tax breaks for 2020 from your IRA- to provide a place for Christ to be born among us and dwell perpetually with us as our Emmanuel. God is never out done in generosity! This is also a special answer to our prayers to St. Joseph to whom we have dedicated our building project and this entire year has just been consecrated by the Holy Father as of December 8th, feast of our national patroness- the Immaculate Conception. Please spread the word! and one can donate online or by check, made out to Corpus Christi Chapel, indicating that it is for the building fund. Checks can be sent to Corpus Christi Chapel. 7775 Vanderbilt Beach Rd. Naples FL 34120, or placed in the collection basket. Any other questions of how to donate stocks, inheritances, etc. can be addressed to our bookeeper Diane at (239) 592-1949 or [email protected]

The Holy Father has dedicated an entire year to St. Joseph, granting many special plenary indulgences in honor of the 150th anniversary of him being declared as patron of the universal church.

This comes at the tail end of the diocesan year dedicated to St. Joseph.

Ite ad Joseph! Go to Joseph!

We thank the all the families and volunteers who made our Christmas Tree fundraiser possible which raised over $27,000 for our building fund. May God Himself be your reward!

We hereby open up mass intention requests for 2021. Given the growth of our community, mass requests will initially be limited to 8 per household. In addition to the general public mass requests other urgent requests (recent death, critical injury, crisis, etc.) may be submitted directly to our priests if they have any availability in public or private masses.

Public mass intentions are limited to registered and active members of Corpus Christi Chapel.

We currently have two daily masses (Mon-Fri) 4pm and 515pm, which schedule was established to spread people out and provide more room under the present restrictions. Whether two masses continue each day for the remainder of 2021 is yet to be determined. Wherefore, one public mass intention will generally be scheduled each day, leaving the other one free for more urgent or particular requests. 

Please review the available mass times on our website and submit your requests and payment there. Please indicate your preferred time and location, and we will generally try to meet that request as close as possible in light of all the other requests. The schedule for certain masses throughout the year may be adjusted as varying times are determined for special occasions, extra masses and seasonal changes. So please review the schedule which is updated periodically.

On the mass intention schedule one can likewise see whether it will be a sung mass and whether there will be confessions during the mass.

This Saturday, in addition to the normal 7:30am low mass, we will also have a sung mass at 6:30am, which is a traditional Advent custom in honor of Our Lady, who as the dawn announces the coming of Christ the Sun of Justice. 

Although under the present dispensation in the diocese of Venice, attendance at the Holy Day Mass of the Immaculate Conception does not oblige this year, nonetheless we will have a Holy Day schedule of Masses to accomodate all those who come out of love for our Immaculate Queen and Patroness of our country.

We will have Mass at: 

• 7am (St. Agnes, Naples)
• 12pm (Resurrection, Fort Myers)
• 4pm (St. Agnes, Naples) (sign-up required)
• 5:30pm (Sung Mass) (St. Agnes, Naples) (sign-up required) 

A collection will be taken up at all masses this day, as indicated in the giving envelopes for Sundays and Holy Days. 

Those who ordered Christmas Trees can receive them:

Saturday, Nov 28: 

- Ocala, 9315 SW 105th St.- 12 noon

- Ave Maria, 5294 Assisi Ave 4:15-5pm

Sunday, Nov 29

- Fort Myers, Church of the Resurrection- 2:30-3pm after 1:30pm Mass

As occurs every year with the season of additional mass times at Resurrection, our Latin Mass will move to 1:30pm, beginning on the First Sunday of Advent, November 29. This seasonal schedule usually lasts through May, depending on the influx of people to the area and need for additional masses. 

This Thursday, the national holiday of Thanksgiving, we will have two masses at 8am and 945am at St. Agnes. Confessions will be hear before and after these masses. There will be no afternoon/evening masses. 
Please come and render thanks to God for the great gift of Himself in the Holy Eucharist.
