A Message from Our Pastor

Welcome to the website of Corpus Christi - St. Bernard Parish (a Roman Catholic faith community) in the 'Garden City' of Newton. Our parish, living and thriving here on the western edge of our city, provides much to our parishioners and those outside of that description - all by the grace and life of God our Father and in the name of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Through our working together we try to listen, learn and live by the words of Jesus.


Our beautiful and reverent celebrations of the Mass on Sunday are made more so by the faithful and active participation of all present. The Mass's daily and Sunday celebrations provide an oasis of grace and faith for many parishioners and those who visit. Eucharistic Adoration offers a moment of silence with the Lord and enables us to hear the voice of our Shepherd. Through the Eucharist, we can accomplish the other works of service and mercy that so define our Catholic tradition.


Each day, through the grace of Christ, we try to build this holy place of Corpus Christi-St. Bernard into a monument of what it means to be prayerfully and generously worthy of the promises of Christ-all in the middle of a public square, often alive with voices calling folks elsewhere. As you navigate these pages, please know that our parish community welcomes and prays for you.


Blessings,

Fr. Dan O'Connell

  • The Spirituality of Giving

    A spirit of giving supports the work of our Mission Partners in our community and beyond. Primarily, we focus on Corpus Christi-St. Bernard and the events we hold.  From time to time, we may partner with other organizations as needs arise and as we deem appropriate.  In this way, the mission of Jesus Christ is nurtured and kept alive.


    “…and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”  

    -Corinthians 2:6

Just a Thought from Fr. Dan


The Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time


We are invited this week to look at the gift of faith. The Apostles ask Jesus outright to increase their faith so that they might understand Him more. Jesus seems to insinuate that they don't need more; they need actually to use what they have. The same may be true for us. The more we utilize our faith, the more we exercise the faith we have, the better we become at using it when we need to. Pray, pray, pray!
