NEXT WEEKEND: SENHOR SANTO CRISTO
The annual celebration in honor of Senhor Santo Cristo
will be celebrated on August 6th and 7th [see separate entry
in the bulletin]. The social part will be celebrated under the
tent in the parking lot. Sponsored by the Portuguese
community, the proceeds benefit Corpus Christi Parish!
Our parking lot will be closed off for the weekend. The
lot at the corner of Canal and Union Streets can be used
for parking as well as the area behind the Essex Mill
building. The religious aspect will be celebrated in the
upper church with a bilingual Mass, Portuguese and
English, at 11am [not 10:30am]. This means that the
12Noon Spanish Mass will start a little later [later than
usual!].
All are welcome to participate in the feast: food, music,
Mass, procession etc.

A RAINBOW OF VOLUNTEERS
Oh! What a great Parish Fair that will be.
No experience necessary. We are looking for new people
who can help with the emptying of boxes of merchandise
and displaying them on the tables and then offering some
time to sell the merchandise on September 2, 3, and 4th.
Any time that you can give will be a tremendous help to
assist the volunteers who have given of their time and
resources over the many years to help make the Corpus
Christi Parish Fair a success.
FACE PAINTERS ARE VERY MUCH NEEDED.
The Children’s Corner would appreciate donations of
wrapped candy including 3 Muskateers, Milky Ways,
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Nerds, Chewing Gum,
Snickers, Chunkies, Hersheys, Starburst and Lollipops.
Donations which are good sellers are as follows: Coloring
books and crayons, miniature cars, dolls, school supplies,
reading books, puzzles, kites, ball and bat and bubbles.
These items may be dropped off at the designated times
outlined in the parish bulletin. Thank you.
Feed the Hungry
Matthew 25:35: For I was hungry and you gave me food, I
was thirsty and you have me drink, I was a stranger and
you welcomed me.
In April, 2016, the Bread and Roses Ministry was
established at Corpus Christi Parish. Once each month
and with their own funds and three other donations, four
women of our parish purchase food items and prepare and
deliver approximately 50+ box lunches to the Bread and
Roses building on Newbury Street, Lawrence. This is
done on a Saturday in order to provide a Sunday meal
since the building is closed on that day. Thus far, this
ministry has been successful. There are 42 people who
live under bridges as well as grandparents with
grandchildren who obtain this meal and others. Food is
provided for approximately 120 people each day and the
goal of the ministry is to provide one box lunch for each
person. In order to do so, more funds are needed. If you
can, please place a donation in an envelope marked
“Bread and Roses” any weekend and place it in the
collection. If using a check, please do the same and make
the check payable to “Bread and Roses Ministry/Domenica
Benanti” aka Mimi. As Christians we need to recognize
that our neighbors are in need and let’s not make them go
hungry. As always, we thank you for your prayers and
generosity.
