Corpus Christi Watershed is five years old today.
Sometime in 2009, I learned that the State of Texas officially chose to recognize Corpus Christi Watershed as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation on October 19th, 2006: the Feast of Sts. Isaac Jogues, John de Brébeuf, & companions, martyrs.
This date was not chosen by us. I am not kidding.
This is . . . a truly amazing thing, when one considers all the works and websites and scores we had already dedicated to Sts. Isaac Jogues, John de Brébeuf, René Goupil, Jean de Lalande, Charles Garnier, Antoine Daniel, Gabriel Lalemant, and Noël Chabanel. (Read more)
The Gospel Acclamation for today is: “Go and teach all nations, says the Lord; I am with you always, until the end of the world.” With God’s help, we hope to continue doing just that!

Words can not express how CCWS has enriched my life and that of my wife and Children.
I have never been tempted to buy a Lottery ticket… but were I ever to do so and win… I think it would be easy to decide where much of my winnings would go because of Watershed and all the amazing artists who contribute to the various CCWS projects.
My only complaint: "So much beauty… so little time…".
As an amateur church music volunteer, I have only scratched the surface of what this tremendous resource has to offer.
The best thing I can do is to continue to "spread the word about CCWS".
Ave Maria!

Congratulations! As a person who bears the name "Rene" in honor of Saint Rene Goupil, I share your amazement at the date of incorporation of CCWS.
Blessings!
