Student Sacraments
“The seven Sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life: they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian’s life of faith.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1210
If you are a student who desires to complete their Sacraments of Initiation, enter the Catholic Church, or receive a Sacrament of healing or vocation, Corpus Christi University Parish welcomes you to do so with us!
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.)
If you are interested in becoming Catholic, we invite you to join CCUP’s R.C.I.A. program. R.C.I.A. is a process in the Church where, through intellectual formation and liturgical rites, you learn about the Catholic Church and ultimately decide if you want to fully enter the Church at Easter with the Sacraments of Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation. Classes at CCUP begin in mid-September and continue weekly on Sunday’s at 9:30 a.m. Contact Kim Kunkle if you would like to be added to our R.C.I.A. contact list.

Weddings / Sacrament of Holy Matrimony / Marriage
“The sacrament of Matrimony signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1661
We are happy to celebrate the weddings of current and former students as well as our parishioners. Please call the parish office to check date availability.
Supporting documents for celebrating the Sacrament at Matrimony (Weddings) at Corpus Christi University Parish in Toledo, OH can be found here.
Holy Orders / Priesthood / Diaconate
“Holy Orders is the sacrament through which the mission entrusted by Christ to his apostles continues to be exercised in the Church until the end of time: thus it is the sacrament of apostolic ministry. It includes three degrees: episcopate, presbyterate, and diaconate.” Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1546
College is a great time to discover, with God, His plan for your life. For men, this plan could include serving the Church as a priest or permanent deacon. Visit https://toledopriesthood.org/ to learn more about events and opportunities aimed to support your vocational discernment.
Anointing of the Sick
“The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given to those who are seriously ill by anointing them on the forehead and hands with duly blessed oil…” Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1513
It is fitting to receive this Sacrament just prior to a serious operation or as soon as one begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age. Please call the parish office if you desire to receive this Sacrament. 419-531-4992
