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
Pastor

Just a Thought from Fr. Dan
THe Commemoration of the Faithful Departed - All Souls' Day
As we celebrate the Commemoration of the Feast of All Souls this week, we are called to remember that in life and in death, Jesus walks beside us; no moment or soul escapes His care. Even beyond the grave, God’s love remains—an unbroken presence that never lets us go.” This month we commend our beloved deceased to his care and ask that His grace supports us in all things!

Prayer Resources
The CatholicTV Network
CatholicTV strives to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the fullness of Catholic Tradition through TV and new media. The Network does this first and foremost through the daily broadcast of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Their 24/7 channel also provides other prayerful, educational, and inspirational programming.
Novena of St. Bernard
St. Bernard of Clairvaux is the patron saint of the Cistercians. You can ask for his prayers if you are a Cistercian or are discerning a vocation to the Cistercians. You can also ask for his prayers on behalf of a Cistercian you know.
The Liturgy Course
Liturgy focuses our awareness on the Paschal Mystery bringing us closer to Christ. We hope you will find this series of articles intersting, informative, and helpful in enriching your experience of the Liturgy through learning about the various roles you and other play.
