I've never heard that. Have you a reference? I looked and didn't see it anywhere.

Is that something you remember personally? I can't find any history on it. There isn't any mention of there ever being a feast of Corpus et Sanguis Christi that I can find. Not even in the CE. Interesting.The two feasts were made into one when the new liturgical calendar came into effect in 1970 .

Until the two feasts were combined in 1970, separate feasts existed for the Body of Christ, held on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, and the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, with a feast on July 1. And until 1955, the Feast of Corpus Christi was followed by a privileged octave. Some groups continue to use those earlier forms of the Roman Rite and the corresponding calendars: see General Roman Calendar of 1962 and General Roman Calendar of 1954.
I finally found more info on wiki:

Thanks for finding the info .
I was going from memory and the fact that the full name for the feast is the Body and Blood of Christ .
Also in this week's UK Catholic weekly newspaper The Universe the feast is referred to as Corpus et Sanguis Christi .
Hey that's my Bishop!!!
Lol, I'm from Rockport, about 30 min. from Corpus Christi and he presides over the Stella Maris Catholic Chapel that I attend in Lamar, TX
So you can bet I support him,
I think it's just the name, but it does only hold about 50 people; 70 at the most...
Nah, it's just a tiny chapel in the middle of a small community just outside of Rockport called Goose Island
There is a large shrine called Schoenstatt that's near there. but it's mainly for church retreats and stuff like that. I know the Shoenstatt sisters live there, but I'm not sure if Fr. Ralph does...
I think he's one of the rare priests that have their own place, as close as i am to him I don't know much about his living arrangements...
and no we don't have a bulletin or an office. Fr. Ralph is just known as the priest in charge
