My Dear Parishioners,
After hearing the news of the accident in Chatsworth this week, and thinking about what so many of our Corpus parishioners have gone through and are still going through since the fire, I wanted to share this prayer with you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
You are our refuge and our strength, the light of goodness.
For this we ask that in our times of troubles and trials,
you grant us peace through your loving and all encompassing guidance.
We pray to you, to help us acknowledge our suffering in a healthy way, and to never lose hope.
Let us remember that despite this current tragedy, You are with us, as You always are.
Even in our darkest moments Lord, you give us assurance and comfort; for this we thank you.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we pray. Amen
CORPUS NEWS
Fr. Kidney again met with the Rector of St. Matthews Parish in the Palisades and this time was accompanied by Fr. Valerian and Will Salvini. They walked through the space to get their bearings and picture how we’d fit in. The next step is approval by the Episcopalian hierarchy.

NEWS AROUND THE ARCHDIOCESE
On September 17, hundreds turned out for a candlelight vigil at St. John Eudes Church in Chatsworth to mourn the victims of the September 15 disaster when twin accidents rocked the town. Everyone at the vigil seemed to feel a personal connection to the victims of the SUV, bus and helicopter crash, who were all from Catholic backgrounds. May they Rest in Peace.
Siempre Adelante!
