elcome to the CORPUS online community.

CORPUS is a faith community affirming an inclusive priesthood rooted in a  reformed and renewed Church.

CORPUS , celebrating thirty-six years of service to the people of God, is one of the oldest reform groups in the Catholic Church, and is active in reform movements both in the U.S. and abroad. We are committed to working for a renewed priesthood of married and single men and women dedicated to serving God through the Community of Believers.

 Where is God in Haiti?
Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world where pain and suffering were present on a massive scale prior to the earthquake. Now thousands of people, including ELCA seminary student Ben Larson, lay under the rubble in Port-au-Prince. Watching images on television of the suffering in Haiti is heartbreaking.
