FEEL AT HOME The Catholic presence at the University of Toledo THE MISSION OF CORPUS CHRISTI UNIVERSITY PARISH is to be a sign and instrument of the presence of Christ at the University of Toledo. With reliance on God and guidance from the Catholic tradition, we strive to form a community of faith which promotes the spiritual, intellectual and moral development of all its members, so together we can work for justice and peace and offer effective leadership in church and society. AT CORPUS CHRISTI UNIVERSITY PARISH we want our students to feel at home. We want to not only be a resource for spiritual growth, worship and reflection, but also a place where you ll meet great friends, have great times and gather great memories that will last a lifetime. Our community is welcoming and supportive. Our two student organizations CSA (on Main Campus) and Newman Club (at the Health Science Campus) have many resources to support student life at the University of Toledo. Vocations Prayer: Gracious God, make me an instrument to encourage others to give of themselves and challenge me to do the same. Inspire men and women to respond generously to your call to service and leadership in your Church as priests, consecrated religious and deacons. Amen. Religious Life: Consecrated women religious by their lives witness the joy of eternal union with God. Freed from earthly cares, they more fully manifest the Kingdom of God to all Christians. The structure of the vowed life frees consecrated women religious to live entirely for God and others. If you are interested in this vocation, please visit www.toledovocations.com/ sister/sister_overview.html or you can contact one of the Religious Sisters in our parish. Holy Orders: When a gentleman feels the call to follow the Lord as a Priest in the Catholic Church, he should call Monsignor Charles Singler, our Diocesan Vocation Director, as 419-244-6711 or speak to one of the Parish Priests. If the Permanent Diaconate is of interest to a gentleman he should call Deacon James Caruso, our Vicar for Deacons at 419-244-6711 or speak to one of the Deacons of the Parish. CCUP PAYPAL ACCOUNT: If you would like to make a payment or contribution simply go on line to our web page www.ccup. org and click on Electronic Payments.

If you are interested, please contact the parish office at 419-531-4992 and we will send you the forms and answer any questions. Infant Baptism: The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated after the 11 a.m. Mass on the fourth Sunday of the month. Registered parishioners are asked to make arrangements for the Baptismal Preparation Class and the Liturgical Celebration by calling the Parish Office. Matrimony: Anyone planning to be married must contact the Parish at least six months in advance. The exact date and time of your wedding should not be determined until after consultation with a priest or deacon. If either party has previously been civilly or religiously married, the Presider is not permitted to set a date for the wedding without resolving the previous marriage. Pastoral Care of the Sick: When a parishioner is confined to home because of age or infirmity, or in a hospital or nursing home, please call the parish office to arrange for Holy Communion to be brought to them. When one is seriously ill, the healing Presence of the Lord should be requested in the Sacrament of the Sick by calling the Parish office. Mass Intentions While the celebration of the Eucharist is celebrated for all of God s People, living and deceased, it has long been the practice of the Church to accept particular intentions for each Mass. These intentions are published in the bulletin which provides a means of recalling the memory of a deceased member or another particular intention. It is the custom of the Diocese of Toledo that the traditional offering for a Mass intention is $10 per Mass. The Faithful who make such an offering so that Mass can be celebrated for their intention, contribute to the good of the Church and by that offering they share in the Church s concern for the support if its activities. Mass offerings are intended as free-will gifts. No one is to be denied these services because of an inability to make such an offering. Our parish has very few Mass intentions at the present time, so, if you are interested in arranging for a particular intention for a Mass please contact the parish office.
