As we face the new reality of our lives being disrupted by the coronavirus, I want to give you an update on how we can support each other during this time of fear and uncertainty.

We will not be able to gather together as a faith community for at least three weeks, but I would like for us to stay in touch with each other. I will communicate with you primarily by email and our Parish website: corpuschristipiedmont.org. I invite you to call one another as a way of staying connected. Please make a special effort to reach out to parishioners who live alone.

Each week, I will record a Mass that you will be able to watch on our website. I will also provide reflection material for those of you who participated in a Small Faith Sharing Group.

Listed below are a number of religious resources that can support your spiritual life during this period of “shelter in place order”:
