Missionary Families of Christ, in collaboration with Father James of Corpus Christi Catholic Church, has added a 12:30 p.m. Mass on the fourth Sunday of each month to serve the Filipino community in the East Valley. Father James and MFC hope to eventually offer the Mass every Sunday.

The first Mass, held in March on Palm Sunday, drew a large turnout that included both Filipinos and English-speaking congregation.

MFC and Father James of Corpus Christi are working to bring together Filipino and non-Filipino congregation every fourth Sunday of each month and steadily grow the congregation.
