CORPUS CHRISTI BOOK CLUB NEWS The Club met on Monday, September 14. Group leader Veronica Hollingsworth presided. Book of the Month was Tattoos on the Heart by Fr. Gregory Boyle SJ, recommended by Carol Slawson. Carol also donated copies of the book to members of the Club. Tattoos on the Heart is more than a book for discussion; it is a book for meditation. Our discussion, in fact, was a reflection, a heart-wrenching experience that left tattoos on our own hearts. Tattoos on the Heart is the story of Jesuit Father Greg Boyle who founded Homeboy Industries in Down Town Los Angeles, where homies (former gang members) demonized and shunned by society, are welcomed, provided jobs and assured of their worth as human beings. Written in typical Boyle style with anecdotal humor and much love and compassion, the essays are at once uplifting and deeply moving. The Jesuit Father Boyle, like the Jesuit Pope Francis, is an image of the Good Shepherd who goes after the Lost Sheep. The October meeting is set for Monday, Oct. 12, 1:30 PM at the Parish Hall. Book selection for the month is The True American Murder and Mystery in Texas, by Anand Giridhardas. CCCS Students Enjoy Learning Outdoors Corpus Christi Catholic School is blessed to have an onsite conservation site. Teachers are able to present integrated lessons in the science, math, writing, art and religion subject areas. Students and teachers alike enjoy the outdoor classroom and take full advantage of it! The second graders experienced the fall like weather as they collaborated on a writing assignment. Mazie McCoy, Ed.D. Principal EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT SEEKS SUP- PORT! My name is Aaron Goodman, I am a graduate of Corpus Christi School and my family is a member of the parish. In the spirit of Saint Francis my Eagle Scout project is to make elevated dog beds for a local no kill animal shelter. My intention is to give dogs a comfortable bed for them to lay on while they wait for their forever home. I am asking for your help with donations for the shelter of dog food, gently used blankets, towels or toys. These items will be collected at the pet blessing this Sunday at 4:00 pm. If you are unable to attend, there will be a box in the parish office until October 12th, so feel free to drop off items. I will be at the pet blessing to help Fr. Tom and would appreciate your support. Thank you, Aaron Goodman Attention Parents of High School Juniors and Seniors!
