My Dear Parishioners,
This weekend the Corpus Christi Class of ’72 will come together to catch up, share memories and celebrate.
These wonderful alumni are celebrating their 54th Anniversary of Graduation from Corpus Christi School starting with dinner at El Cholo Friday evening, ending with a picnic at Palisades Park on Sunday, starting at 11 am.
When they graduated in 1972, Corpus Christi School was twenty-one years old. On the broader spectrum, it was a year of historical significance: The U.S. President, Richard Nixon, made a historic visit to the People’s Republic of China, five men were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Complex, sparking a constitutional crisis, and the last U.S. combat ground troops left South Vietnam.
Coming together at a class reunion is a great chance to reconnect and maybe gain some perspective about ourselves and others. It is a chance to share our life's journeys with those who knew you when...
From global travelers to hometown loyalists, reunions bring us all back together. My hope is that our school environment, including the Sisters of St. Louis and the teachers who worked with them in the classroom, the clergy who broke bread and shared the Gospel with them, and their parents and classmates, all provided the support needed for each one to walk into their future.
I encourage them to value this opportunity to share their life's journey and to listen to what others have to share, and I pray that each member will know that they are never alone - God is always near, traveling with them. Please RSVP to Tim Bearer, Class of ’72, timbearer@icloud.com
lf you are a Corpus Christi alumni, please feel free to email us at: parishmail@corpuschristichurch.com. We would like to know how you are doing.
