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


Laetare Sunday


"But we had to celebrate and rejoice. This brother of yours was dead and has come back to life." With those words, the father of the Prodigal Son explains to us what Lent is truly about. Through their death to self, both the prodigal son and his father discovered in themselves the ability to rise above their selfishness and hurt. When we die to self, we give our God ample room to work miracles in our hearts.
