Who we are
Our Mission
Becoming What We Receive
Our Vision
We seek to become what we receive: the Body of Christ in our place of the world by honouring God, serving others, and making disciples.
Our Values
Worship
The Sunday Eucharist is the source and summit of our Faith which we seek to live out in authentic, vibrant and life-giving ways. We value authentic worship in union with the whole Church.
Discipleship
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. All messages strive to break open this living Word to give direction and meaning to our daily lives. We value being doers of the Word.
Fellowship
Baptism makes us members of God’s family where we learn to love our neighbour as Christ loved us. We strive to build a parish community where people encourage one another to grow to their fullest potential. We value living together as community.
Stewardship
We receive the gifts of time, talent and treasure to grow God’s kingdom on earth. We commit to using these gifts wisely and effectively as good stewards. We value responsibility and accountability.
Service
The Holy Spirit has gifted us with talents and skills to be shared for the benefit of others. We hear God’s call to serve both within our parish and beyond: in our city, country and the world. There is always more to be in accomplished in the Lord’s vineyard. We value that challenge.
Evangelization
Jesus came to seek and save the lost. We heed God’s call to share his message with the world. We look for opportunities to invite others to join us. We value growth.

Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church History
Corpus Christi Church and Rectory were built in 1951 to help solve a growing congestion problem at the beautiful St. Andrew’s Church. The first pastor was Reverend Regis St. James, the Dean for the Catholic community of Thunder Bay, at a time when this city was structured under the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie. This affiliation lasted until 1952, when the Diocese of Fort William (now Thunder Bay) was established under Bishop Edward Q. Jennings. A host of Pastors, Associates and lay ministers have served the spiritual needs of the faithful over the years.
In 1961 both the church and the rectory were renovated and enlarged to their present size. Extensive renovations were undertaken in 1988 – 1989 opening up the sanctuary area and adding liturgical artwork and statues. Renovations were once again undertaken in 2005 to provide for a proper entryway into the church.
In the year 2011, we marked our sixtieth anniversary as a parish community.
