God's People Yearn For Holy Priests
THE CORPUS CHRISTI MOVEMENT FOR PRIESTS
THE CORPUS CHRISTI MOVEMENT
WELCOME
We are diocesan priests united in the CORPUS CHRISTI MOVEMENT. Founded by Saint Teresa of Calcutta with the blessing of Pope Saint John Paul II, this association accompanies priests who seek holiness within ordinary parish life. Rooted in the charism entrusted to the Church through Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity, we long for the renewal of our hearts and the spiritual revitalization of the Church.
If You are a diocesan priest who desires this spirit within Your own vocation and mission, You are warmly welcome to journey with us.
“Jesus loves His priests very much and wants them to grow in holiness by living the priesthood to the full –
this simple way will help very much. Let us pray and ask Our Lady to take care as She did of Jesus.”
God bless you
M. Teresa, MC
The Simple Way

• Filial devotion to Our Lady, Mother of the Church and Mother of Priests.
• Priestly fraternity lived through personal accompaniment, small fraternities and shared prayer.
• Ongoing formation through days of recollection and retreats in harmony with diocesan life.
• Simplicity of life that keeps us close to the poor and ready for pastoral service.
