Here we are on the 1st Friday of January – 1st month of the New Year 2024!
I want to take time on this Podcast to review some – and I emphasize SOME of the blessings that we have received in 2023.
St Paul says: 1 Thess 5:18 “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Here are some of the blessings that this parish has received through the 10 Year Vision:
-All the people who said Yes to Alpha and all who were touched by the Holy Spirit and changed their lives moving forward.
- The Youth specifically the Blessings of going to Portugal WYD and seeing the fruitfulness of it when they came back (bigger youth groups) and how they made their faith stronger.
- The silent warriors of CC...the people who quietly pray for our priests, staff, leaders and volunteers.
The renewed sense of community fostered by the AMS.
Liturgies enhanced by beautiful music! Choirs are investing a lot of time to sing beautiful hymns and parts of the Mass. We are so blessed to have the 3 English Choirs and our Cantonese Choir headed by Vincent.
A strong Youth ministry: Our CCYM was so blessed that it needed to divide into Junior YM and Senior YM. There is now a Junior Youth Core Team and a Senior Youth Core Team. Each oversees the activates of their respective groups.
New leaders like Michelle, Mellysa and Mary
Winnie and Irene – joined our Corpus Christi Staff; they are living out the 10 Year Vision and 4 Core Values.
We are so blessed to have been able to acquire the services of Alex – who is our part time: Maintenance Facility Coordinator. He is truly on top of all aspects of these facilities we have.
It is all about people – you the parishioners of CC. We have these buildings (a beautiful school, parish centre and daycare) but without people – with you – they buildings are (to be blunt) useless and without meaning. With people using them God is truly glorified through our 10 Year Vision
