El Obispo Michael Mulvey encargó la creación de una custodia diocesana que se está fabricando en México y será presentada oficialmente en la fiesta de Corpus Christi el 16 de junio después de la Misa del mediodía. “La Custodia Viajera une a todas las culturas y es una forma de llevar a Jesús ante las personas marginadas de la sociedad”, dijo Jaime Reyna, Director de las Oficinas de Pastoral Social y Multicultural de la Diócesis de Corpus Christi y coordinador del Comité Diocesano de la Custodia.

Although a gift born in faith, the Eucharist is made visible and tangible as the sacrament of God’s presence in the world today. It is the sacrament of Love, that memorializes Jesus’ perfect love on the Cross.

In the Gospel of St. Luke, we see how the crowds are pressing upon Jesus to hear the word of God when He was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He stepped into the boat that was Simon’s and preached to the crowds on the shore.  Afterward, we read about a great catch of fish. Simon, as well as James and John, were all amazed. But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” 

Father Brady Williams, SOLT, explains the Great Commission. We are charged to go forth into the world to proclaim by our way of life what we believe, celebrate and receive. The term “Mass,” in fact, is derived from the ecclesiastical Latin formula for the dismissal of the congregation: Ite, missa est (“Go, it is the sending [dismissal]”).”

Instead of doing typical Spring Break teenager activities like hanging out at the beach with friends or playing video games all day, some students from Incarnate Word Academy (IWA) preferred to be of service to others during a five-day mission trip to Fort Worth.

Twentieth-century St. Gianna Beretta Molla chose the life of her unborn child over her own, which may be precisely why devotion to her spread during a time when the latter is often encouraged.

En la década de 1950, un pastor joven y entusiasta fue invitado a hacer una peregrinación a Roma, pero primero necesitaba obtener el permiso de su Obispo. Rápidamente se sentó y escribió una carta muy larga - en latín, por supuesto - sobre todas las ventajas que tendría  no solo para él sino también para sus feligreses, el hacer ese viaje. Porque las bellezas arquitectónicas y pictóricas del  arte religioso que vería, así como las liturgias a las que asistiría, le ayudarían a profundizar su amor por la Iglesia y a fortalecer su sacerdocio, etc... Aproximadamente una semana después, recibió una respuesta del Obispo, y para sorpresa del párroco, contenía solo una palabra, de hecho, solo una letra: “I” (en latín significa “¡Ve!”, en otras palabras, es un mandato para que la persona “¡vaya!”).

Bishop Michael Mulvey commissioned the creation of a diocesan monstrance that is being manufactured in Mexico and will be officially presented at the Feast of Corpus Christi on June 16 after the noon Mass. “The Traveling Monstrance unites all cultures and is a way to bring Jesus to people on the margins of society,” said Jaime Reyna, Director of the Offices of Multicultural and Social Ministry for the Diocese of Corpus Christi and coordinator of the Diocesan Monstrance Committee.

La Eucaristía, aunque la recibimos como un don, nace en la fe y se hace visible y tangible como sacramento de la presencia de Dios en el mundo de hoy. Es el sacramento del Amor que conmemora el amor perfecto de Jesús en la Cruz. Continúa asegurándonos que el amor de Dios es misericordia.

Coach Jason Gonzales kicks off every baseball season with a Bible and a prayer at the annual First Pitch Banquet. “We cannot be afraid to talk about God, now more than ever.

On Holy Thursday, students at St. John Paul II High School spent their half-day rotating through seven stations reflecting on the seven Last words of Christ. Mr. Benjamin Nye, chair of the Theology Department, organized the day of reflection and six additional teachers, including Mr. Michael Edghill, the principal at St. John Paul II High School, prepared reflections based on one of the seven last words of Christ. 

The tradition of the monstrance in the Catholic Church is irreversibly linked to the Eucharist, the body of Christ. The monstrance is an open or transparent receptacle in which the consecrated Host is exposed for veneration. It allows Christ to be brought to many members of the Church, regardless of their geographic location. To better understand how the monstrance serves as a kind of sacred conduit for prayer, adoration, and connection to our Lord, one must examine its indelible place in history.

Bishop Michael Mulvey presided over the Mass at the 75th Anniversary Celebration at St. Theresa Church, located at 1302 Lantana Street in Corpus Christi. The community of parishioners is home to several generations of families dedicated to imitating Christ by serving others.
