Please start by contacting the office.
In the next section you'll find instructions for completing your Baptism Class.
Baptisms can be scheduled anytime except during Advent and Lent. If this is an emergency situation, please call or text the office immediately.
Fr. Francisco Godinez encourages everyone to have their Baptism at any regularly scheduled Mass. It is in your child’s best interest to have their Baptism in the presence of the rest of their Catholic community. Background for this: in simple terms-there’s more strength when people gather to pray. By gathering the entire community to pray and renew our own Baptismal vows for your child’s Baptism, we’re heaping lots of strength and grace into that particular Sacrament.
If you still want a private Baptism for your child, please contact the office to schedule it. These are scheduled on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month at either 11am or 1pm.
If you are registered in another Parish and want to have your Baptism here, we will need a letter from your Pastor giving us permission to celebrate the Sacrament.

All baptisms (infant, older child, or adult) require a godparent. Being a godparent is both a great honor and a serious responsibility. For that reason, the Church has established canonical laws in place so that those who wish to serve as a godparent may do so according to God's plan of salvation.
Children signed up for First Communion Sacramental Prep will be taught how to make a good confession, and are required to have their first confession before they can receive the sacrament. Confirmation candidates will similarly be required to confess at least once during the Easter season before their reception of the sacrament, according to Canon Law.
For individuals merely looking for the Confession times at Corpus Christi parish, they are typically
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 9:05am - 9:25am
Thursdays 5:30pm - 6:30pm
Saturdays from 3:30pm - 4:30pm
Classes are Wednesdays 5:30pm-7:00pm- First Holy Communion Day May, 13th 2023
In order to register for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion:
Confirmation classes are all online this year. You can register and start at any time. They are entirely self-paced. They can be accessed from any device, even a smartphone (Android or IPhone both work). Work your classes into your schedule however it works best for you.
Requirements:
If you do not complete all the requirements in time to be Confirmed by the Bishop on the date he selects, or if for any reason you cannot be Confirmed on that date, Confirmation can be completed on the next date approved by the Bishop.
Confirmation Registration Contact Gablierl Bains 208-817-0604 or [email protected] or the office: 208-452-5778
Once you've submitted your registration, you'll receive instructions on how to access your classes and take your final test.
Community service is not required to obtain a Sacrament of the Catholic Church. If you wish to do community service you certainly may. Choose something that you feel drawn to do and make sure your parents approve. This is up to you to arrange on your own. If you want any help or guidence from Corpus Christi, please contact the office.
ALL Catholics are required to attend Mass on ALL Holy Days of Obligation. EVERY Sunday is a Holy Day of Obligation. You should be attending Mass here at Corpus Christi. We will not be making you prove that you've attended Mass, but you must take this seriously and hold yourself to this responsibility as a good Catholic and a soldier of Christ. This is your duty to God. Take it seriously. It affects your eternal soul.
Come into the office or stop before or after Mass and introduce yourself to Father Pako and tell him that you are requesting the Sacrament of Confirmation this year. Remember, he's your Pastor and your Spiritual guide. He's here to help you through this process. You can also call/text/email the office for any questions or help. My name is Lorena. I'm here for you too.
If you are seeking to be married in the Church, please contact the office and schedule a meeting with Father for Marriage Prep classes and other requirements.
If you're interested in finding out more about the Catholic Church, or if you were born and raised Catholic but haven't received all of your Sacraments you can join our RCIA program. RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults.

Registration is closed at this time.
For older children who were not Baptized as infants, or who didn't receive First Communion when they were 7 or 8 years old can join the RCIC program. RCIC stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Children.
KKids who are receiving Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation at once will need to fulfil the requirements for both:
